Chicagoans Can Beat Anything

Let’s end hunger now.

We rose from the ashes, reversed the flow of the river, and built the first skyscraper. Harsh winters have conditioned us with relentless resolve.

So when we hear something is impossible, like ending hunger, we say: Bring it on.

Let’s make history and ensure no one goes hungry in our city.
