Since 2017, NECA has operated a client choice food pantry, which allows people seeking food assistance to choose which products they receive. This model is a critical part of a community’s efforts to end hunger; not only does it make it easy for the pantry to utilize the resources of a food bank but gives clients the opportunity to choose their own food. This offers those being served a sense of dignity and control, limits waste (since they tend not to take food they won’t use) and allows them to tailor the help they receive to be the best possible fit for their unique situation.
As an extension to the food pantry, NECA has secured funding from the Greater Chicago Food Depository to renovate food pantry and serve hot meals.
NECA offers free on-site assistance completing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) application.
