Simple. Efficient. Human

We’re feeding at-risk

Chicago families

Every year, for 20 years our small volunteer team has redistributed around 250k worth of fresh food to at-risk families across Chicago a year.

No fancy trucks. No storage. No waste. The food we pickup at 10am is in family fridges by 2pm.
