Food Donations.  Giving Hope. Every donation makes a difference in a someone's home and heart.

Join The Good Samaritan Mobile Soup Kitchen in Chicago as we combat food insecurity. Your generous food donations directly impact lives, bringing nourishment and hope to those in need throughout our community. Together, we can make a difference and end hunger.

What foods to donate

To best support our mission at The Good Samaritan Mobile Soup Kitchen, we primarily seek non-perishable food items. This includes canned fruits and veggies, canned meats, peanut butter, boxed cereals, healthy snacks for the kids, pastas, sauces. You get the idea. Helpful Tip:  If you're a member of one of those stores where you can buy items in bulk (you know the ones, we love shopping there) maybe pick up an extra bulk item or split the box and share.

How to donate food 

Donating food to The Good Samaritan Mobile Soup Kitchen is simple and convenient. If you are an organization with a large food supply donation, please CONTACT us on the CONTACT site to make PICK UP arrangements.  If you are an individual that would like to make a donation, please CONTACT us via the CONTACT site and we will let you know via email where to DROP OFF your donation. 

Quality matters: donation guidelines

To ensure we provide the best possible nourishment and respect for those we serve, we kindly request that all donated food items are not expired. We believe in serving food that we ourselves would eat, maintaining dignity and trust for every person we serve in the Chicago community.
