Getting to know The Friendship Center
The Friendship Center fosters hope and dignity on Chicago’s northwest side through access to food and vital resources. We are located between the Albany Park and Lincoln Square neighborhoods in Chicago, but our services are open to anyone living in Cook County, Illinois.
TFC serves nearly 6,000 neighbors a month through our client-choice pantry, including fresh food, pantry staples, personal hygiene products, baby items, and pet food. Additionally, we provide support through home deliveries, hot meals, and 1:1 assistance with public benefits. There are no income or residential requirements to participate in TFC’s programs.
