Food and Basic Needs

Imagine struggling to know where your next meal is coming from? The reality is that more than one in 7 people in Cook and Lake counties will face food insecurity this year.

Through Catholic Charities program sites throughout our service area, our teams can help thousands of our neighbors facing hunger through the distribution of healthy food, by hosting community suppers onsite or with other community partners, and through the provision of nutrition services for seniors.

Select a program from the Programs menu to find out more information how we may be able to help you, a neighbor, or someone you love.
