Overview
Mission
Chicago Hope runs a food pantry twice a week that serves over 100 families. The organization is working toward the furtherance of wrap around services.
What it reported doing in 2025
We operated a free food pantry in collaboration with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, primarily serving residents of Logan Square, Humboldt Park, and Avondale, though open to anyone in need regardless of zip code. All of our patrons are allotted two visits a month. In 2025, the pantry recorded 6,181 visits, serving 1,714 unique households and 3,698 unique individuals, and providing food to 13,123 people in total. Senior Pantry Program - Chicago Hope provided a monthly box of non-perishable food items to senior participants enrolled in the program. In 2025, the program served 268 unique households across 1,130 visits, representing 270 unique individuals.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
