The Chicago Bears are launching a new program to help get food to neighborhoods on the South and West sides of the city.

It is called "Bears Neighborhood Pantry" and it's a partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository and Salvation Army.

The goal is to bring fresh, healthy food to areas where access is limited.

A personal shopper will also help people choose from a selection of fresh meats and locally grown produce.

Samples of recipes prepared with the ingredients on site are also available.
