Pilsen Food Pantry

The Pilsen Food Pantry, located at 2124 S Ashland Ave in Chicago, was founded in 2018 by the Figueroa Wu Family Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization committed to addressing health and social outcomes through food distribution and community services. The pantry provides free, culturally-sensitive groceries including fresh produce, proteins, and non-perishable foods to residents of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood and surrounding areas, while also offering clothing, household items, free health clinics in partnership with the Mobile Migrant Health Team, and connections to social services like SNAP benefits. Operating with twelve employees and supported by numerous volunteers from the community and nearby Illinois Medical District, the Pilsen Food Pantry serves anyone in need while prioritizing zip codes 60607, 60608, 60609, and 60612.
