Macs with Mercy held its final session of the school year with a truck from Rainbow Cone at Mercy Circle in Chicago to celebrate the year’s accomplishment of the intergenerational collaboration. Chicago Alderman Matt O’Shea, who founded Macs with Mercy in 2022, paid for the ice cream to express appreciation for the group’s “dedication to add cheer to the lives of 48 families who pick up groceries every Wednesday at Pat’s Pantry at Mount Greenwood Community Church,” according to a news release.
The group shared stories about the more than 500 handmade gifts created this year at Mercy Circle, a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community.
