ABOUT US
Sanad Pantry is dedicated to combatting hunger in Chicago by ensuring access to fresh and nutritious food, both through local partners and its own onsite and mobile pantries.
ABOUT SANAD'S PANTRY
A one-bedroom apartment. A mother who saw a need. A community worth fighting for.
In 1991, Fatima Abueid founded SANAD by sharing food from her one-bedroom apartment. She saw families struggling with poverty and knew they needed somewhere to turn.
Today, SANAD Social Services, located at 3302 W. 63rd Street in Chicago, carries that commitment forward through food, help with bills, community resources, education, and training.
Our mission is simple: help families meet their immediate needs and build a more stable future—with dignity, compassion, and a community beside them.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower individuals, families, and communities grappling with poverty to attain an improved quality of life.
