Part of our mission is to address racial inequity’s role in hunger—the pandemic is affecting people of color disproportionately, making our efforts even more crucial.

In four decades of feeding our community, ity, we have never faced a need so great.

Thank You

FOR HELPING RESCUE CHRISTMAS Thank you to those generous donors and partners who helped us respond to COVID-19 and Rescue Christmas for hardworking families throughout the Greater Chicagoland area. Your support kept families in their homes, put food on their tables, provided gifts for children who would normally go without, and gave hope to those struggling.

Join us for our 2021 special events. Proceeds from these events support Salvation Army programs that address hunger, homelessness, substance abuse, human trafficking, after-school support, and more.
