Jason Erkes was coordinating the process.
"There are a lot of people going through really hard times right now and we rely on different organizations to give us names and it is a hard thing to ask for help, but people are very appreciative when they get it," said Erkes.
Valerie Black got a basket delivered to her.
"I really, literally felt very, very blessed," said Black.
The Chicago Thanksgiving Basket Brigade delivered over 750 holiday meals this weekend.
