When you have more than you need,
Build a Bigger Table

Donate Today

BIGGER TABLE was created with a simple idea: when you have more than you need, you build a bigger table. Food ingredients shouldn’t stay in a warehouse. Instead, we turn those ingredients into food made directly for food banks, who give them to those who can benefit the most.

The Problem

1 in 4 people living in Chicagoland face food insecurity.

*That’s 2.4 million people.

The Opportunity

We’re listening to food banks and community organizations: there is a great need that isn’t being met. Communities need nutritious food. Our food and beverage industry has the means to meet that need.

Did you know…
Food insecurity means not having consistent access to the food they need to live active, healthy lives.

What We Do

Bigger Table unites the Chicagoland food and beverage industry to turn bulk ingredients into nourishing food for neighbors in need. We rally our community and build the partnerships necessary to help solve hunger.

Through donated ingredients and expertise, Bigger Table has donated more than 4.5 million servings of food to Chicagoland food banks since its founding in 2020.
