We distribute food to in excess of 150 charitable food programs.
Our Food Bank is combating hunger.
At Sanad, we extend beyond being just a food bank; we’re a neighbor and a companion in the battle against hunger in Chicago for numerous decades.
We understand that eradicating hunger from our communities necessitates teamwork. That’s why, in addition to directly supplying food to families, seniors, students, and others, we also serve as a central point, distributing millions of pounds of food annually to local partners, enabling them to reach individuals in their respective communities. By uniting our efforts, we expand access to fresh, nutritious food for more people.
