Whether the economy is booming or collapsing, people all over the world need food, and you can always help your neighbors in need by donating canned food items to local food banks.
In Chicago, food banks are all over the city, so there are plenty of places to donate non-perishable items to help in the fight against hunger. Or, you can organize a food drive at your church, school or workplace, especially since February is National Canned Food Month.
Contact the following organizations to provide resources for economically disadvantaged Chicagoans. Unless noted, you can donate food to these places at any time.
