Food Assistance

The massive tax break and spending cuts bill currently working through Congress contains provisions that would be “catastrophic” to food assistance programs, says the Greater Chicago Food Depository, which helps feed people in need.

Fight2Feed partners with dozens of Chicago area food organizations to bring in food and send out meals to those in need with the help of volunteers. 

“We’re just trying to provide hope and dignity,” says Farhan Ahmed, a co-founder and president of Chi-Care, which brings restaurant meals and other basic necessities to unhoused Chicagoans and others in need where they live.
