Explore partnership opportunities

Thank you for your interest in partnering with us. We cannot accomplish our mission to end hunger without our meaningful partnerships with community-based organizations and individuals across Cook County. Together, we connect our neighbors with healthy food, lift our voices and advance solutions that address the root causes of hunger. 

We are currently working with over 800 food distribution partners across Cook County and are not seeking any new food access partners at this time.  

Fill out the form below to help us understand more about your vision of partnership and to inquire about community-based partnership opportunities to connect neighbors to resources with the Food Depository.  

Though we are not currently seeking new food access partners, there are still opportunities to help us build awareness, feed a neighbor, and advocate for policies that help address the underlying causes of hunger. 

1. Applications for Youth Meal Programming (After School Meals (CACFP) and Summer Meal (SFSP)) are accepted on a rolling basis. Please click here for more information.
