This year for #HungerActionMonth, we're highlighting organizations in our community who are doing great work every day to fight hunger and obtain equitable food access for all.
Today we're shouting out @fooddepository, Chicago’s food bank, who distributes food to people facing hunger through their network of pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and programs across Cook County. They also work to address the root causes of hunger by offering paid job training, helping connect households to SNAP and Medicaid benefits and advocating for strong public policy to protect people from hunger.
Join the Food Depository in their mission to #EndHungerNow by volunteering! They have a variety of volunteer opportunities, including repack sessions and delivering fresh produce. For more information, visit chicagosfoodbank.org/volunteer.
Thank you, GCFD, for all of your amazing work for Chicago's food system!
