WGN Morning News Food Drive - Robert R. Mccormick Foundation

About the Food Drive

This year, the WGN-TV Food Drive Returns to WGN! On this special 10^th Annual Food Drive to benefit Greater Chicago Food Depository, clients and viewers alike are invited to drop off non-perishable food at WGN-TV on Friday, November 10, 2023, from 5-10 am.

In addition, WGN sponsors and viewers are invited to donate money here. Those funds will be matched at 50% by WGN-TV Family Charities, a McCormick Foundation Fund.

McCormick Match

The McCormick Foundation matches funds raised at 50 cents on the dollar. We pay all campaign and administrative expenses, so one hundred percent of all donations, plus the match is granted to qualified nonprofit organizations.

About WGN-TV Family Charities

WGN-TV Family Charities, a McCormick Foundation Fund, is focused on creating opportunities for children and families to help them fulfill their potential. We hope to bring awareness to various organizations and to enlist community support to help make a difference in the lives of families throughout the Chicago area.

The McCormick Foundation does not make grants to programs that would financially benefit WGN-TV.

About Greater Chicago Food Depository

Many families experience food insecurity. The Food Depository’s network of food pantries and similar programs are still serving at rates far above pre-COVID levels. The Greater Chicago Food Depository, Chicago’s food bank, believes a healthy community starts with food. They are at the center of a network of more than 800 partner organizations and programs – food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, mobile distributions and other partners – working to bring food, dignity and hope to our neighbors across Chicago and Cook County.
