JOLIET, IL — The students at Joliet Catholic Academy came up with a terrific idea to help Joliet area restaurants during these trying times created by the coronavirus pandemic. The first week of Operation Takeout, sponsored by the school's Habitat Club was an amazing success.

Nearly 700 meals were delivered to people in the Joliet area who ordered through the JCA students who then picked up their meals and made the deliveries. The first week's restaurants were Syl's in Rockdale, the Shorewood Chicken-N-Spice and The Jacob Henry Mansion in Joliet.

Operation Takeout begins its second week and this week's restaurants are: Station One Smokehouse in downtown Plainfield offering a BBQ style family dinner for Thursday; Bella Cucina at Jefferson and Raynor in Joliet for Friday offering a Tuscan chicken dinner, and The Dock at Inwood for Sunday offering breakfast pizza and burritos.

"Our restaurant community needs us and HOPE now more than ever ... The JCA Habitat Club is working to offer the alumni owned restaurants the opportunity to sell dinners through the JCA community. Orders will be taken through a certain time period and dinners will be picked up at the restaurant," according to Joliet Catholic Academy.
