Greater Chicago Food Depository says that hunger and food insecurity are increasing

Between February 2020 and February 2021, the Greater Chicago Food Depository distributed 30% more pounds of food, and 22.3 million additional meals. Good Day Chicago anchor Roseanne Tellez talks with Jim Conwell of the Greater Chicago Food Depository about what you can do if you need help, or want to offer help.

Chicago Public School's free summer lunch program starts on Monday.

Anyone under 18 can get free food at one of dozens of locations across the city. The young person does not have to be a CPS student to get free food.

The program runs through August 12.
