The economic impact of COVID-19 is affecting countless individuals across Chicago and Cook County. The need to get the word out about how people can help us respond is now more important than ever.

To this end, we’re launching a new way to help: Food Depository Social Ambassadors. As one of our generous donors, I know you’ll be perfect for the team.

Members of this group are asked to do one simple, yet impactful thing—share.

Throughout the year, we’ll provide links to social posts to share, emails to forward and ways to help make a difference.

The actions you’ll take as a Food Depository Social Ambassador will be quick, easy, and make a big impact. This is a way to help make a difference from your home—all you need is your smartphone and a minute of time.

I am excited about this group and the difference I know it will make—both in helping to meet the increased need for food as COVID-19 unfolds as well as ending hunger in our community for the long term.

Jill Zimmerman from my team will be leading the charge, so after you join be sure to look for her name in your inbox.

Please become a Social Ambassador today and help even more neighbors in need throughout Chicago and Cook County.

With gratitude, Kate Maehr Executive Director & CEO
