Your support can help ensure everyone can bring meals home this holiday season and beyond.
With inflation and the high cost of necessities, many families continue to struggle to make ends meet and get the necessary food for themselves and their families. It is more important than ever to continue the fight to end hunger by providing consistent nutritional meals to those in need.
“As we approach this holiday season and the cost of living remains high, the need for food throughout Cook County persists. The Greater Chicago Food Depository is so grateful for the continued support of ABC7’s Feed the Love initiative. When we work together, we can end hunger – and help build a truly Greater Chicago.” said Kate Maehr, executive director and CEO of the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

“We know this disruption to SNAP benefits is deeply unsettling for families who depend on SNAP,” said Julie Yurko, President and CEO of Northern Illinois Food Bank. “Northern Illinois Food Bank is doing everything we can to fill the gap, but we can’t do it alone. Thanks to ABC7’s partnership, more families will have the food they need and the opportunity to share a special holiday meal with the ones they love.”
