As we head into a new season, we renew our efforts to not only provide food for our clients, but also to address the root issues which lead to poverty and hunger. In the Chicago area, 11 percent of the population lives in poverty; with an additional 15 percent who are at risk of falling into poverty. 1

Each month, 2,600 individuals come to Lakeview Pantry with a need for food or case management services. Your support allows us to maintain our high level of service to a continually growing number of clients as we aim to help those who are in poverty rise above it and those who are at risk to avoid it.
