Food insecurity is a pandemic that continues to impact communities across the country. Beyond Hunger serves 13 zip codes, not just the Oak Park area. However, 15-20% of BH recipients live in Oak Park-River Forest. There is a need in our own backyards. Beyond Hunger offers kids programs, cooking classes, home delivery, nutritional & health education, and more. Toilet paper, menstrual products, and diapers cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits and no one should have to chose between paying a utility bill and buying toilet paper.
