As we head into a new season, we renew our efforts to not only provide food for our clients, but also to address the root issues which lead to poverty and hunger. In the Chicago area, 11 percent of the population lives in poverty; with an additional 15 percent who are at risk of falling into poverty. 1

Each month, 2,600 individuals come to Lakeview Pantry with a need for food or case management services. Your support allows us to maintain our high level of service to a continually growing number of clients as we aim to help those who are in poverty rise above it and those who are at risk to avoid it.

Lakeview Pantry has been honored as one of the Signature Room at the 95th's feature charities for 2010. We will be their selected charity for the month of November.

"The Signature Room at the 95th® offers a monthly, four-course dinner menu, known as the 'Signature Selection' menu. The selected non-profit organization receives 10% of the sales from this menu, which is offered throughout the sponsored month. In January, The Signature Room at the 95th® hosts the 'Table of Twelve' Reception to kick-off the yearly program and honor all 12 non-for-profit groups. All profits from the reception go directly to the Charity of the Month organizations." - www.signatureroom.com/Charity-of-the-Month/

You can join us in celebrating by attending the Table of Twelve Charity Gala.
