United Center, home of the Bulls and Blackhawks, will become a logistics hub for first responders and medical supplies collection
I’m told there is no timeline at this point for how long United Center might be used, essentially however long it takes - Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf and Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz were pro-active in offering up the building to the city for use
Here are some of the first photos of United Center being used as a relief center, arena is now being used as a satellite storage facility for the @FoodDepository - worthy, urgent cause.
The United Center hosted a collection drive for medical supplies Sunday - those donations are going out to local health providers across the state right now. @projectcure
Roughly 775,000 pounds of non-perishable food currently being stored at the home arena for the @chicagobulls and @NHLBlackhawks, freeing up space for @FoodDepository. This helps volunteers practice safe distancing practices while packing more food boxes to feed the community. 🙏🏼
