Operation Blessing of Southwest Chicagoland

We are a food pantry. We receive surplus food from food-related businesses and food donations from churches, individuals, and organizations. Due to Covid, we received free food from the Greater Chicago Food Depository, rather than purchasing discounted food from them.We give this food to about 8,000 families and various neighboring not-for-profit food pantries and charitable organizations each month. We also receive a relatively small amount of non-food donations that we distribute to our clients. We distributed about $95,000 worth of food each month during the year.
