    Volunteer Engagement Coordinator

    Organization Overview

    Nourishing Hope, formerly known as Lakeview Pantry, is a dynamic Chicago nonprofit providing food and social services for anyone in need. Founded in 1970, we're one of the largest and longest operating hunger relief organizations in Chicago. We also provide free, trauma-informed mental health counseling and other social services, such as job and housing assistance. We strive to serve the needs of the whole person — with respect and dignity, always.

    Nourishing Hope offers our neighbors nutritious food using a choice-based distribution model and access to life-changing social services including:

    • Monthly food distribution and additional produce pickup through five different food access programs;
    • Home delivery services for older adults, homebound neighbors and neighbors living with disabilities;
    • Social services including case management, mental health counseling, job search support, domestic violence intervention, referrals and public benefits assistance (SNAP, healthcare, government forms) for anyone in need.

    Nourishing Hope serves tens of thousands of people each year, providing more than 4 million meals through our programs, in addition to partnerships with other community organizations. This year, more than 7,000 low-income neighbors will also receive case management and social services.
