Hunger Resource Network
Non-profit Organizations
Our mission is to aid in the alleviation of hunger by helping meet the needs of food pantries, soup kitchens and shelter
About us
Hunger Resource Network is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the alleviation of hunger by making connections between those who have surplus food and those who need it. We do this currently through our Community Outreach Days and our partnerships with vendors at local Farmers’ Markets. Founded in April, 2009 and certified as a 501(c)(3) in July of that same year, Hunger Resource Network (HRN) does not serve individuals directly, but rather coordinates services through recipient agencies: In partnership with corporations who share a commitment to feed the hungry, HRN has purchased chicken, canned goods and grains at reduced prices and donated the food to over 70 organizations that serve hungry people in communities from the south side of Chicago to Lake County and west to the Fox Valley area. HRN has also formed partnerships with farmers and vendors at local Farmers’ Markets to collect and distribute donated produce for many of the same area agencies. Since its founding, Hunger Resource Network has donated more than 1 million pounds of food to recipient agencies throughout the greater Chicagoland area.

Saturday was a wonderful day for HRN. We started the unloading process around 6:30 with the last of the 80 tons unloaded by 8:00 a.m. Much volunteer power went into breaking down the pallets. The team work was phenomenal. The loading of agency vehicles started at 7:20 and finished at 9:30 -- amazing!!! Only one four letter word described todays event -- NICE! No, rain or wind or snow or hail or cold or dark To all of the board members and their families that were there this morning, THANK YOU! To the board members that were there in spirit, THANK YOU! To all of the other volunteers, from callers to greeters, THANK YOU! Working together, helping those in need, our team provided the protein portion of 320,000 meals!
