The Friendship Center is a neighborhood food pantry dedicated to fostering hope and dignity within our northwest Chicago community. We serve approximately 4,500 neighbors monthly through our client-choice fresh food pantry, home deliveries, hot meals, and assistance with public benefits. We also extend support to around 400 cats and dogs through our monthly pet food pantry. Our ability to serve our neighbors facing hunger is only possible through our generous community. Through volunteers, food drives and donors our neighbors in need can receive nutritious food and vital resources. 

On February 7th, 2024 we will host For the Love of Pets to fundraise for our pet food pantry. The evening will feature tasty bites, a cash bar, silent auction, custom pet portraits, and an opportunity to ensure the pet food pantry can provide food and pet supplies to pets of neighbors facing hunger in our community.
