The Friendship Center delivers groceries weekly to seniors and people who are homebound.


The senior home delivery program was developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, Swedish Hospital and the 40th Ward Office. Read more about the launch on our blog.

If you or someone you know needs assistance with groceries and is unable to come to the pantry in person, please contact the local Ward office. And if you’re interested in helping with deliveries on Saturday afternoons, fill out the volunteer form.

Together we’re making a big difference in helping seniors and others who may be homebound get the groceries they need.

“It means so much to have someone personally call, follow up with me, and make sure I have all my basics covered — THANK YOU to Lisa, Ross, Justin, & everyone at the Friendship Center. I don’t know how I would have made it through this last year without your group.” – Bill North
