COVID-19 Food Drive Response

The Greater Chicago Food Depository is working to support our neighbors who are most vulnerable to the health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 virus. You too can help support our neighbors, even as you practice social distancing, by starting a virtual food drive. The Food Depository is able to maximize the value of every dollar raised through our virtual food drive program to provide nutritious grocery items for our neighbors. Please consider registering for a virtual food drive today at http://myfooddrive.org and rallying your personal communities and networks to provide food and hope to people experiencing hunger. Together we are a Greater Chicago.

Greater Chicago Food Depository virtual food drives make it easy to help Cook County families in need. With just a few clicks, you can purchase nutritious fresh produce and protein, start your own virtual food drive or host a traditional food drive.

Virtual food drives offer corporations great opportunities for: corporate social responsibility - employee engagement - building your brand's awareness as a Greater Chicago Food Depository supporter

Virtual food drives offer everyday donors great opportunities for: birthdays - wedding registries - Bar and Bat Mitzvah's

Thanks to the Food Depository's wholesale purchasing power every $1 you donate can help provide 3 meals - doubling or even tripling the amount of food your dollar can purchase at a regular grocery store - 100% of virtual food drive proceeds are used to purchase food.
