HRN Luncheon Honors Hunger Heroes
Chef Joe Frillman is the Executive Chef &amp; Proprietor of Daisies, Chicago’s Michelin Green Star–awarded restaurant known for its sustainable, vegetable-focused cuisine. A two-time James Beard semifinalist and Eater Chicago’s 2024 Chef of the Year, Chef Joe is a nationally recognized leader in responsible food systems.
His passion for sustainability, community, and equitable access to quality food beautifully reflects the mission of Hunger Resource Network. In the kitchen, he implements radical low-waste measures — upcycling food scraps, preserving excess, and composting — not only to reduce the restaurant’s footprint but to influence broader the agricultural system at large. 
He also uses Daisies as a platform for education and advocacy, organizing open-to-the-public coffee chats with leading voices in sustainability in partnership with Green City Market, Chicago’s first year-round nonprofit farmers' market.
In addition,<a href="https://shop.villagetreasurehouse.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Village Treasure House</a> in Northbrook, a unique, charitable consignment showroom, will be honored for their longstanding donations (over ten years) to Hunger Resource Network. Wendy Ban and Sally Claffey co-presidents of VTH Board will accept the award on behalf of the non-profit organization. 
 Meghan Rosenfeld will be honored for being the Hunger Resource Network Volunteer of the Year. Meghan has been a dedicated volunteer with Hunger Resource Network for the past three years. Meghan generously shares her time and expertise in several key areas of the organization, including grant funding, support, administrative work, and event planning.
