THE
GREATER CHICAGO FOOD DEPOSITORY
The Greater Chicago Food Depository is Chicago’s
food bank, a not-for-profit distribution center providing
food to hungry people while striving to end hunger
in our community.
The Food Depository is committed to efficiently distributing
donated and purchased food through its network of 600
qualified agencies, such as soup kitchens, shelters
and pantries. Since its incorporation in 1978, the
Food Depository has remained steadfast to this mission.
Much of our food comes from local food manufacturers, grocery
stores, caterers, employee cafeterias, restaurant chains
and others. A large amount comes from contracts with the
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). We also receive
food from national donors recruited by America’s
Second Harvest and purchase food through strategic alliances
and food box contracts. |
