For over 26 years, we’ve been serving the Chicago community, dedicated to providing hope and practical support to those in need. Our mission began with a vision to empower local communities through economic support and spiritual guidance, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, could experience hope, transformation, and the love of Christ.
A Legacy of Service
Though we began with multiple programs, from job training and educational services to addiction counseling and ESL programs, our focus today is on rebuilding and growing the heart of our outreach. Throughout the years, we’ve faced challenges and changes, but one thing remains constant—our commitment to supporting the most vulnerable among us.
Our Flagship Program: The Chicago Hope Food Pantry
The Chicago Hope Food Pantry, led by our dedicated leader, Maggie Jordan, continues to serve hundreds of families each week. What makes our pantry unique is our client-choice model: individuals and families are welcome to select the items they need, giving them dignity and control over their groceries. Covering six zip codes, our pantry is a trusted source of sustenance for many in the community, even those already receiving state assistance.
Partnered with the Chicago Food Depository, we receive and distribute a wide variety of fresh and non-perishable foods, ensuring that no one goes hungry. We also collaborate with local businesses and restaurants to provide additional fresh food items, reducing waste while enhancing our offerings.

Our Impact
Since the start of the year, the Chicago Hope Food Pantry has served over 1,718 households, impacting the lives of 3,638 individuals in our community. Despite our successes, we face challenges, including shortages of essential items and limited volunteer availability during key times. Your involvement can help us overcome these hurdles and serve even more families in need.
