Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Greater Chicago Food Depository

FRESH Truck

The Pop-up Distribution is an innovative collaboration between the Greater Chicago Food Depository and health organizations throughout Cook County. Patients, who attend the Pop-up Distribution, are referred by their physicians based upon the results of a food insecurity screening. Volunteer jobs at the Pop-up Distribution include staffing the check-in and health/nutrition table, being a personal shopper and restocker. Because of volunteer support, thousands of patients and their families have access to fresh produce. These opportunities are available and vary by locations.

About Greater Chicago Food Depository

Location:

4100 West Ann Lurie Place, Chicago, IL 60632, US

Mission Statement

Providing food for hungry people while striving to end hunger in our community

Description

The Greater Chicago Food Depository is Chicago’s food bank. We provide food for hungry people while striving to end hunger in our community.

The Food Depository is part of a united community effort working to bring food, dignity and hope to our Cook County neighbors. We act as the hub for a network of more than 700 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other programs. These programs provide food where it’s most needed. We also address the root causes of hunger. Public benefits outreach and job training programs offer a hand up for our neighbors to overcome poverty.

As the face of hunger in our community has changed, the Food Depository has evolved. Our programs address the specific needs of diverse groups, including children, older adults and veterans.

By taking hunger off the table, we enable families to focus on other priorities, like education, growth and security. We enable communities to face their challenges with confidence. Today and in the long term, providing nutritious food is an investment in health and hope for our neighbors and our community
