Hunger Programs

Some food needs to be free. 

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 Open Kitchen at Kenwood United UCC. Together, we serve over 500 of our food-insecure neighbors per week, a third of whom are children

Food Pantry

Open every Saturday of the year (including holidays) from 10:00am - 1:00pm.

We serve the area of 39th - 60th St., Cottage Grove east to Lake Michigan, and patrons can come once every four weeks. All will be served on their first visit, regardless of residency. For other food pantry locations, click here. 

​If you would like to volunteer, please contact the Church Office, or  Jan Deckenbach, the volunteer coordinator. Email Jan Deckenbach
