Help Support Our Community Outreach Programs or Volunteer - We Need You
Community Outreach
With generous donations, every Spring and Fall we purchase and distribute 120,000+ pounds of healthy, protein-rich chicken to food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters serving communities across Chicagoland. Every dollar typically enables us to buy two pounds of chicken.
Student PROGRAM
With our partners, we provide essential food and personal care packs to students facing food insecurity. This helps provide the nutrition they need for their growing minds and bodies so they can focus on learning, not on hunger.
Senior Program
Community volunteers provide transportation for seniors at Crestwood Place to the Northfield Food Pantry. A partnership with the YMCA provides a bus to support this initiative.
Hunger Resource Network
The Hunger Resource Network's mission is to aid in the alleviation of hunger by helping meet the needs of food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters across Chicagoland. We are a 501(c)(3) certified non-profit organization.
Since 2009, through donations we received, we have been able to distribute over 4.5 million pounds of food and rescue tens of thousands of pounds of food from farmers' markets and local businesses.
Since 2019 we have developed and implemented a food rescue program and assisted students and seniors who are food insecure.
Hunger Resource Network aids in the alleviation of hunger by helping meet the needs of recipient agencies: food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters.
Our corporate, local business and foundation benefactors work with us to provide nutritional meals to people in need.
"Hunger is all around us and has many different faces. Food insecurity can happen to anyone at any time, including the Northern Suburbs"
MAKE A DONATION
In the richest nation in the history of the world, ten percent of our neighbors are food insecure and four percent are in desperate need of food.
Every dollar helps us buy 4 servings of healthy, protein-rich chicken for those in need.
A $25 DONATION IS EQUAL TO 100 PROTEIN SERVINGS!
