We also offer group retreats, anti-racism training, team building activities cooking classes for your team.

Recycle!

Only about 10% of materials placed in Chicago’s recycling bins are appropriate for recycling so millions of pounds of good quality materials end up in landfills. To do our part, the Pilsen Food Pantry collects crushed aluminum cans. Our metal recycling is sold to a local shredder once a month to support our general operations. Community members can drop off cans any day.

Together, we can do more!

There are many ways to support the Pilsen Food pantry! You can volunteer, donate supplies, partner with us for an event, give directly to our operational budget, or connect with us to discover other opportunities.
