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
COVID-19 UPDATE
We are following all local and state regulations to keep our volunteers and patrons safe during the pandemic. Our pantry continues to be client choice; patrons select items from a menu, which are then packaged up by our volunteers. Patrons can wait both outside or inside the building at this time. Masks are required for all.
