More about Nourishing Hope

We're filling our virtual barrel with funds to help Nourishing Hope, formerly Lakeview Pantry, distribute fresh and nutritious groceries in Chicago. Last year, Nourishing Hope distributed the equivalent of more than 4.5 million meals and provided over 200,000 services to Chicagoans in need, including mental wellness counseling, social services, and emergency food programs.

Monetary donations are the most impactful way to support Nourishing Hope. Every $1 donated provides the equivalent of 3 meals to our neighbors. Help us make a difference this year in a time of crisis.
