Ongoing Opportunities for Support

Several ongoing cause marketing partnerships benefit the Food Depository with your purchase.

Gotham Greens

Gotham Greens, a global leader in urban agriculture, grows premium-quality leafy greens, lettuces and herbs in “The World’s Largest Rooftop Farm,” located in Chicago’s Pullman neighborhood. The company’s packaged salads can be found at grocery stores throughout Chicagoland and are co-branded with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, raising critical awareness for hunger relief throughout our community. Since launching in Chicago in Fall 2015, Gotham Greens has donated thousands of pounds of their pesticide-free produce to the Food Depository, providing year-round fresh produce donations to our communities.

Art & Advocacy

Art & Advocacy is a Chicago-based small business dedicated to bringing awareness to nonprofit causes with art and designed products. In 2018, they created a new collection with the Greater Chicago Food Depository’s mission in mind. The collection was inspired by the Food Depository’s commitment to increase access to fresh produce in the communities we serve. Twenty percent of the proceeds from every item in the collection will be donated directly to the Food Depository.

Green Grease

Green Grease is a local used fryer oil recycling company. Green Grease connects restaurants and commercial kitchens to their communities by providing sustainable solutions for used fryer oil disposal. The used fryer oil Green Grease collects is guaranteed to be recycled into renewable energy. A portion of proceeds support the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Since 2014 Green Grease has recycled tens of thousands of gallons of used fryer oil and donated thousands of dollars on behalf of the kitchens they collect from.
