Fighting Hunger One Meal at a Time
The Greater Chicago Food Depository is Chicago’s food bank. Providing food for hungry people while striving to end hunger in our community.
Through a partnership with 700 agencies and programs including pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and responses for children, older adults and veterans, the GCFD distributes food where it is needed most throughout Cook County.
Since 1979, the Food Depository has made a daily impact on hunger across Cook County. Last year, the Food Depository distributed 70 million pounds of food, 35% of which was fresh produce. Every day they distribute the equivalent of 160,000 meals.
SUMMER MEALS FOR KIDS | The Lunch Bus
Did you know that once the school year ends, there are many children in Chicago who lack access to food?
But, with the Lunch Bus, the GCFD is helping to connect kids to nutritious meals, throughout the summer months. This bus travels to 24 sites on 4 routes - every summer weekday. They serve close to 4,000 meals EACH WEEK during the summer.
Let's help make sure that no kid in Chicago goes hungry when they are enjoying their summer adventures!
