Twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays, the staff of 2Bears Tavern Group distributes community meals at Meeting House Tavern, 5025 N. Clark St., 2-6 p.m. The effort began immediately after the order to close the bars as a lifeline to the staffs of Meeting House Tavern, The SoFo Tap and Jackhammer. Soon, the owners reached out to include other LGBTQ hospitality staff and, from there, anyone in need was able to take advantage of the effort.
About 80 meals ( consisting of a hot meal and a "snack bag" ) are served each day. By May 1, they had served their 1,000th meal to the community.
