Mission Statement
Our mission: Common Pantry meets the emergency needs of our local community by providing healthy food, kinship and support to help overcome poverty-related challenges. Our vision: Strengthen Common Pantry’s capacity to provide food and services for the overall well-being of our clients. We take a strategic, forward-thinking approach to reduce hunger and address the root causes of poverty, infusing compassion into everything we do.
About This Cause
Common Pantry is Chicago's oldest continuously operating food pantry. Common Pantry meets the emergency food needs of our community through our weekly food distributions, home delivery to elderly clients, our hot lunch program and our monthly distribution of fresh fruits and vegetables on Produce Day. Through our Common Community Program, we help individuals and families address the root causes of food insecurity and poverty by assisting with benefit applications, job searches, housing issues and services to the homeless. Thanks to the generosity of donors, we have both a client emergency assistance fund and an I Am Your Neighbor Housing Assistance Fund to address clients’ emergency needs.
