AT URBANMATTER, U MATTER

We have partnered with the Greater Chicago Food Depository to give back to those communities the best way we know how: by spreading awareness for those in need. Our goal is to reach $5,000 by April 30 through a Virtual Food Drive with GCFD and we believe the people of Chicago will come together to make this happen.

Right now, people around the world are experiencing hunger like never before, affected both physically and economically by the impacts of COVID-19. You can respond directly to the needs of individuals in your neighborhood by contributing to our GCFD Virtual Food Drive. GCFD maximizes the value of every dollar raised to provide nutritious groceries for the hungry, so you can rest assured your money is going directly to the people who need it the most.

During this worldwide crisis, people are looking at the media with both contempt and dependency, wary of misinformation and tired of seeing headlines that seem to grow worse by the days. But when you visit UrbanMatter.com, we want things to be different. We like to focus on the positives here, which include hanging out with your dog all day, spending more time on what actually matters, and connecting with others like never before, even if it’s from afar.

That’s why you’ll see more of what you can do—rather than what you can’t—here at UrbanMatter. We’ve always been your source of things to do in Chicago, and for now, we’re helping you find things to do at home. One of those things is remembering to give back to the communities of people who walk these streets just like you do and who make Chicago the great city that it is.

At UrbanMatter, U Matter. And we think this matters. Support your community today by donating to our Virtual Food Drive with the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
