Free N Deed Market needs you now more than ever.
As many of you know, our pantry has been a lifeline for thousands of families across Cook County, IL., providing fresh produce, healthy groceries, and dignity through choice-based food distribution. But today, we are facing a crisis that no one community organization can shoulder alone.
Due to the ongoing government shutdown and the recent cuts to SNAP benefits, more families are turning to us for support, and the cost to operate our emergency food program continues to rise. It takes $25,000 every month to keep Free N Deed Market open, staffed, and utilities paid, to offer the fresh, healthy options our community deserves.
While these federal decisions are beyond our control, the response is not.
This is the moment when ordinary people, neighbors, friends, and strangers with compassion, can make an extraordinary difference.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps us keep our shelves full, our doors open, and hope alive for the seniors, single parents, working families, and children who depend on us.
You are not just giving food. You are giving stability. You are giving dignity. You are giving love in action.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your support truly matters, it does.
And right now, it matters more than ever.
Thank you for standing with us.
Thank you for being the change.
Donate. Share. Pray. Believe.
Together, we can feed our neighbors—Free N Deed
