Sept. 28, 2015 CHICAGO - The UIC group SPARK (Students Performing Acts of Random Kindness) reached a milestone by feeding its 1,000th homeless person on Saturday. Over 50 current and former student athletes joined together making lunch bags filled with sandwiches, chips, fruit and a bottle of water to deliver to Chicago's homeless.

The athletes divided up into four groups and set out across the Chicago downtown area to feed those in need. "This was a very big day for us," said Mitch Granger, men's tennis player and co-founder of SPARK. "Last year at this time SPARK didn't exist and now we have made an impact in Chicago by feeding over 1,000 people. Hopefully we have changed someone's life."
