Description of Program and Relief

Chicago: Emergency Food Coordination Center

In light of COVID-19, the City of Chicago has launched an Emergency Food Coordination Center at Malcolm X College, in partnership with The Salvation Army and the Greater Chicago Food Depository. 3-1-1 requests from residents who are homebound and quarantined due to COVID-19 who need direct food deliveries and do not qualify for existing food support services will be referred to the Chicago Emergency Food Coordination Center, which will arrange for emergency meal box deliveries, typically within 48 hours. The emergency meal boxes include a seven-day supply of food, with three meals per day. If the need for food is immediate, the Coordination Center will work to provide the resident with assistance.
