🌟 This #GivingTuesday, join us in supporting the Greater Chicago Food Depository’s mission to end hunger in our community. Since 1979, they’ve been fighting hunger with a network of 800 local pantries, shelters, and programs.

Thanks to generous donors, PBD and our partners were able to help GCFD complete the Nourish Project—completed in 2024—and expand the Food Depository’s capacity to provide over 30,000 nutritious meals daily, including culturally appropriate meals for asylum seekers and medically tailored meals for those in need. The new facility also supports local economies by partnering with minority-owned restaurants and generating jobs in underserved communities.

Your donation today helps feed our neighbors, provide jobs, and strengthen our community. Together, we can make a real difference. Donation link in bio 🌍❤️

The Greater Chicago Food Depository, established i

The Greater Chicago Food Depository, established in 1979, works to end hunger in the community by supporting a network of 800 local pantries, shelters, and programs. In 2019, guided by the PBD team it completed Phase I of the Nourish Project, enhancing cold storage, upgrading its warehouse, and creating new volunteer spaces. PBD and GCFD finished Phase II in 2024, further expanding the facility’s capacity to produce nutritious meals, while also creating economic opportunities in underserved communities. The expansion allowed the Food Depository to deliver over 20,000 culturally appropriate meals daily to asylum seekers in 2023, in partnership with 17 minority-owned restaurants.

The 38,000-square-foot expansion includes Chicago’s Community Kitchens, which produces up to 10,000 meals daily for vulnerable populations. Designed by Partners by Design, the new facility focuses on increasing meal production and improving food processing. It now prepares over 30,000 meals a day, catering to cultural preferences and special dietary needs. The redesigned space also features better truck parking, a welcoming lobby with a statement light fixture by K2, and sustainable landscaping with a hydroponic garden. The facility earned a LEED Silver rating for its environmentally conscious design.

The environmental branding by Spark celebrates the organization’s mission and community impact. A founder wall honors the six original founders, while a donor wall with 800,000 dots represents individual contributors. The new exterior will feature rotating murals by local artists, further strengthening community ties.

Overall, the Food Depository’s redesign reflects its commitment to fighting hunger and supporting Chicago’s diverse communities.
