Eliminate Child Hunger This Summer

Hunger doesn't take a summer vacation. In fact, when school is out, children are at increased risk of hunger as most no longer access free and reduced-price breakfast and lunch.

Did you know that more than 1 in 5 children are at risk of hunger in our community? That's nearly 255,000 boys and girls.

At the Greater Chicago Food Depository, we are working to eliminate summer hunger through 250 summer meal programs, including our Lunch Bus and Kids Cafes. These programs are designed to provide our children with healthy and nutritious food when school is out. And while we are planning to distribute over 400,000 meals to children this summer, more needs to be done. We need your help to spread the word.

Please don't hesitate to take action. Summer shouldn't mean hunger to any child. With your support, it won't have to.

Pledge your support today and help make sure no child goes hungry this summer.
