Shaunta’s House Honors Shaunta Monica Murff with a Day of Service at the Greater Chicago Food Depository

This year, in honor of what would have been Shaunta Monica Murff’s 46th birthday, Shaunta’s House gathered volunteers for a special day of service at the Greater Chicago Food Depository. It was a fitting tribute to Shaunta, whose life was defined by her unwavering dedication to helping those in need.

A Legacy of Compassion

Shaunta’s love for service started early, and the Greater Chicago Food Depository was one of the many places where she made an impact. She often organized trips there to package meals and distribute food to individuals and families facing food insecurity. It was her way of ensuring that no one was forgotten, embodying her commitment to supporting the underdog. This day of volunteering continues that legacy, reminding us of the power of small acts of kindness to make a big difference.

The Day of Service

On her 46th birthday, volunteers from Shaunta’s House came together to honor her memory through service. With sleeves rolled up and hearts full of purpose, the group spent the day:

• Sorting and packaging food donations for distribution.

• Assembling meal kits to be delivered to shelters and food pantries across Chicago.

• Reflecting on Shaunta’s legacy and the impact she continues to have on our community.

The event was more than just a volunteer activity—it was a celebration of the values Shaunta held dear: compassion, generosity, and an unyielding dedication to lifting others up.

Why This Matters

Food insecurity remains a critical issue in Chicago, with thousands of families relying on resources like the Greater Chicago Food Depository for their next meal.
