MARCH IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. SUPPORT CHICAGO WOMEN TODAY!
Did you know that women are 35% more likely to experience poverty than men?* At Lakeview Pantry, we are committed to meeting the basic needs of everyone who comes through our doors—especially women, who make up more than half of our clients.

This Women's History Month, we hope you'll join us in fighting hunger and feeding hope. Lakeview Pantry is on track to provide 200,000 clients (more than 100,000 women) with four million meals this year, but we need your help to make that happen. Give to Lakeview Pantry today and honor a woman in your life!
ONE YEAR WITH COVID-19—THANK YOU
After adjusting our distribution model in just one day last March, we’ve welcomed more first-time clients and distributed more food than any previous years in the Pantry’s history. The need for our mental health counseling has skyrocketed. Our social services team has worked tirelessly to support neighbors who are struggling with job loss, access to health care and so much more.

One year into this pandemic, Lakeview Pantry is still here with our community, acknowledging the heartache we all feel and sending our appreciation to all who have volunteered, donated and advocated for the clients we serve. This has been a challenging year, but with the support of our community, we will continue to feed hope for tomorrow.

Thank you to each and every one of you who helped us deliver on our mission.
