Fight2Feed Launches Urgent Call for Volunteers This Holiday Season

URGENT UPDATE: As Thanksgiving approaches, Fight2Feed is intensifying its mission to combat hunger in Chicago. The local nonprofit is urgently seeking volunteers to help distribute meals to those in need during this critical holiday season.

Founded on March 20, 2014, Fight2Feed has made significant strides in the fight against food waste and hunger. The organization has successfully served over 2 million meals and rescued more than 6 million pounds of food that would otherwise go to waste. Their efforts are not just limited to Chicago; they also extend to Will, DuPage, and Lake Counties.

Fight2Feed operates entirely on a volunteer basis, saving unused and prepared foods from restaurants, grocery stores, and conventions. These meals are then distributed to community partners that support the unhoused, under-resourced, and immigrant populations. The organization’s impact is profound, and they are determined to ensure that no one goes hungry this holiday season.

To maximize their outreach, Fight2Feed is appealing for volunteers specifically on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. This is a crucial time to lend a hand and make a meaningful difference in the lives of many.

“We need the community’s help now more than ever to feed thousands of people this holiday season,” said a spokesperson for Fight2Feed.

As the holidays draw near, the urgency of this mission cannot be overstated. The need for food assistance is rising, and with it, the opportunity for individuals to contribute to a worthy cause. Fight2Feed encourages anyone interested in volunteering or donating to visit their website for more information: fight2feed.org.
