The Pop-up Distribution is an innovative collaboration between the Greater Chicago Food Depository and health organizations throughout Cook County. Patients, who attend the Pop-up Distribution, are referred by their physicians based upon the results of a food insecurity screening. Volunteer jobs at the Pop-up Distribution include staffing the check-in and health/nutrition table, being a personal shopper and restocker. Because of volunteer support, thousands of patients and their families have access to fresh produce. These opportunities are available and vary by locations.
