Hunger Programs

Annual Giving Campaign

Neighbors Serving Neighbors: this is the heart of the HPK Hunger Programs. We rely on volunteers to run our weekly operations - and we rely on donors like you to fund them! Your donations directly support fresh produce, grains, proteins, canned goods, necessary storage equipment, facilities upkeep, and more. Click here to learn more about 2022 at the HPK Hunger Programs.

Food insecurity is rising in our community and our programs are busier than ever before. Please consider including HPK Hunger Programs in your year-end giving.

The Hyde Park & Kenwood Hunger Programs have been active for almost 40 years, providing assistance through both the Food Pantry at Hyde Park Union Church and the Feed the People program at Kenwood United UCC. Together, we serve over 500 of our food-insecure neighbors per week, a third of whom are children.

Food Pantry

At Hyde Park Union Church, 5600 S Woodlawn Ave
Open every Saturday of the year (including holidays) from 10:00am - 1:00pm.

We serve the area of 39th - 63rd St., Cottage Grove east to Lake Michigan, and patrons can come twice a month. All will be served on their first visit, regardless of residency. If you are looking for food outside of our service area or hours, you can visit the website of the Greater Chicago Food depository to find additional services. 
​
​If you would like to volunteer, please contact the Church Office or Margy Mitchell, the Food Pantry coordinator. 

COVID-19 UPDATE: We continue to follow all local and state guidelines to keep our volunteers and patrons safe. Patrons are welcome to wait inside or outside the building, as they feel comfortable. Please note that masks are required for all at this time.
