CCIL staff, volunteers, residents and more than 5,000 others joined in the march against hunger on Saturday, June 14, 2008. The 23rd Annual Hunger Walk will directly benefit participating food pantries that are member agencies of the Greater Chicago Food Depository, including CCIL.
Many agencies recently have experienced increasing demand while food supplies from the federal government have dwindled. The Greater Chicago Food Depository's Annual Hunger Walk is a unique fundraiser that helps agencies support their food programs.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Hunger Walk this year!
About CCIL's Community Food Pantry...

Between 200-250 families (averaging 6 people per family) visit CCIL's Community Food Pantry every week. Every year at least 9,500 families are served and more than 10,000 pounds of food is distributed monthly from the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
