Stay healthy, stay hopeful, —The Obama Foundation   During a past trip to Chicago, President Obama volunteered at the Greater Chicago Food Depository. This week, he called the organization and their volunteers to hear how they’ve stepped up during this crisis, and to thank them for helping their neighbors in need. If you’d like to lend them your support, you can donate to the Greater Chicago Food Depository here.   Meet Albie, a five-year-old Chicagoan who recently launched the Keep Away Corona podcast with the help of his dad.
