For over a decade, Curtis “Grandyman” Granderson’s GRAND GIVING food insecurity awareness campaign in partnership with Mariano’s has raised more than $1.25M for families in the Chicagoland area. Throughout the month of November, donations made at the register or self-checkout directly benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository and Northern Illinois Food Bank, which puts food on the table for thousands.

 
 

You can make A difference

1 in 5 Chicago households experience food insecurity, which is a set of circumstances that prevents access to food.
Many kids start their morning without breakfast, end their day without dinner and struggle through summer breaks without access to healthy food.

Join us in the fight against hunger and food insecurity.
