Impact you can see in our community

Within each month and across the year, we publish snapshots: items redistributed, bridges made, meals provided, waste diverted, and hours volunteered.

Your donations become real outcomes for households across Chicago.

See how donations turn into outcomes across Chicago. View items redistributed, households served, waste diverted, meals provided, and volunteer stories.
