Embracing the spirit of giving this holiday season, White Sox Manager Rick Renteria and his wife Ilene, with the help of Blue Plate Catering, will prepare a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for the children and staff at Mercy Home for Boys & Girls. The group will join White Sox front office staff to serve and entertain more than 200 people currently living and working at Mercy Home’s West Loop and Walsh campuses.
The festive occasion, complete with a turkey dinner, dessert and live entertainment, will create a family-like atmosphere for the group similar to what they would experience at home during the holidays. Mercy Home residents will receive gifts, including a White Sox fleece blanket.
The event is an extension of the Renterias’ community outreach program, Club 36, which supports Mercy Home through outings and visits with residents.
