We fund the work of adoption professionals in Chicago and surrounding communities (as well as throughout North America) who focus exclusively on moving children from foster care into adoptive families.”
Mike Allegro, president of All-Star Management, Inc., and owner of the Wendy’s restaurants in Kankakee County, adds, “We strive to keep the ideas and beliefs of Wendy’s founder, Dave Thomas, who was adopted, at the heart of the Wendy’s culture.
