Our Stories

This year, Common Pantry volunteers and Big Green worked together to assemble 1500 microgreen grow kits that were distributed to families in need with the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system and Farm.Food.Familias (FFF).

See how having our own building will help us continue to fight food insecurity and provide new opportunities to engage the community.

The City of Chicago recently announced all CPS families will receive P-EBT cards in the mail in March and we've been asked by many supporters how they can forward these resources to Common Pantry.

Several months into the global COVID-19 pandemic, Chicago’s oldest continually operating food pantry continues to serve an influx of people experiencing food insecurity.
