Areas of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene, Community economic development
Activity Type:
Food/Agriculture: General
Summary: Multiple food, pantry and hygiene items provided to local food pantries for the food insecure in Chicago, IL.
Given the current environment brought on by COVID-19, food pantries and local food distribution partners are in need of food and water, as well as hygienic products. Our goal is to engage our club members to shop and source the items the partners need and deliver them to the food pantries.
We would like to help two partners, Night Ministry and Common Pantry, but will reassess their needs and other local pantries to best serve the community.
Since a few of these were beneficiaries of the Disaster Response Grant, we would like to wait several months to replenish their goods. We will complete the project by May 2021.
Completed
This project is "Completed". This means the project has been implemented and the report was accepted by the district leadership. The project will stay listed on this website as a testimony of the achievements of the project partners.

Hi Kristen,
I want to remind you that your club’s final report for District Grant #3312, Food Security Supplies, is more than 120 days past due. It is critical that you file your report now. The absolute due date is two weeks from today: Monday, May 31, 2021. This is a hard deadline. Failure to meet the deadline may result in losing your club’s 2021-2022 District Grant allocation. Additionally, filing a late report delays 2021-2022 allocations for the entire district.
Please let me know if I can help in any way.
Thanks
Sue
