Join Us at Hunger Walk

The 34th Annual Hunger Walk took place on September 7, 2019.

Chicago’s largest annual anti-hunger rally raises funds and awareness to end hunger. Hunger Walk takes place in Jackson Park and is two miles long. The event supports our network of soup kitchens, pantries, and shelters.

2021 Update

The Greater Chicago Food Depository will not be holding a Hunger Walk this year. We appreciate the partners, advocates, employees and supporters who continue to work together towards ending hunger. Please stay tuned for updates on additional ways to get involved during Hunger Action Month.
