Help the Pilsen Food Pantry Feed Hungry Chicagoans

The Pilsen Food Pantry has been serving our food insecure neighbors for nearly seven years (since 1/2/18). Monday through Friday, 600 households are given 30,000 pounds of fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, shelf stable foods, and household items. Clients visits twice monthly and we have no neighborhood restrictions (although 80% of our clients come from zip codes 60608, 60616, & 60609). So far, we have distributed over 6,000,000 pounds of food! We want to keep feeding our neighbors :)

In 2019, we expanded services with our Little Library and, in 2020, a free store with clothing & housewares (El Mercadito Gratis). We also provide free medical supplies and sponsor Clinica Nuevas Raices, a free clinic for the un-/underinsured. Please help us raise $100,000 to cover 20% of our operational costs.
