Feeding the Community
To combat hunger, all meals prepared by FTF will be distributed to partner organizations in Chicago. FTF is in partnership with local food assistance and community organizations, to provide these home-made meals to feed people without access to affordable and nutritious food.
While many food relief organizations, pantries, and food banks supply staple foods to be prepared at home, Feeding the Future will be one of the few local organizations preparing and distributing heat-and-eat meals. In this way, FTF will contribute to a dignified and scalable hunger relief approach that meets the needs of its community members.
