The Englewook Food Network is a non-profit organization, established in 2001 and consists of twenty seven soup kitchens and food pantries, serving the Englewood and West Englewood communities. In partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, the Network is striving to provide community anti-hunger feeding and food distribution services to hungry families, the elderly, and the homeless through its program, Feeding Options and Opportunity Delivery (FOOD). The (FOOD) program pick-ups food from the Greater Chicago Food Depository and distributes the food to our partner agencies weekly. The network serves an estimate of 30,000 individuals collectively monthly and we deliver over 3,000,000 pounds of food per year.

The Englewood Food Network exemplifies a commitment to investing in people by taking a lead role in developing our neighborhood through our mission to end hunger in Englewood. We are striving to improve the quality of life in our community through education and self sustaining programs.

The (FOOD) program pick-ups and distributes food to the pantries and soup kitchens within the network weekly. The network serves an estimate of 30,000 individuals each month.
