Hack Hunger Steering Committee
In early 2016, several leaders from tech companies formed the Hack Hunger Steering Committee to support the Greater Chicago Food Depository. The goal is to bring innovative, creative, tech-based solutions to the challenges of ending hunger.
If you are interested in using your tech expertise and ideas for social good, let us know. We welcome all Chicagoland computer programmers, software developers, graphic designers, project managers, data analysts, and any others with interest in using technology skills and expertise to end hunger in our community.

The 2017 Hackathon included over 100 developers and analysts from many of Chicago’s top technology companies as well as students from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Loyola University and University of Illinois at Chicago. The hackathon was sponsored by many of Chicago’s most innovative technology companies including Strata Decision Technology, Solstice, Civis Analytics, Signal Co., Jellyvision, Livongo, and Uptake.
