Monthly Nourishing Hope Online Market Pickup
The South Side YMCA is a designated pick-up spot for Nourishing Hope’s Online Market! By partnering with Nourishing Hope, one of Chicago’s largest food pantries, we are expanding our community’s access to fresh produce, frozen meats, dairy products, and more.
Food must be pre-ordered through the portal below by the third Monday of every month. Pickups take place on the third Wednesday of every month from 3 - 5 p.m.!
Providing Youth with Nutrition-rich Choices
We bring delicious, healthy, and culturally familiar meals to youth and teens at no cost over the summer! Local Lunchbox connects small, locally owned food businesses with community organizations to provide meals to youth ages 18 and under — and it’s all paid for by the United States Department of Agriculture.
