About Chicago Chesed Fund
Chicago Chesed Fund:
Where Chicago Turns for Help
For over 30 years, Chicago Chesed Fund has been the address for the Chicago community to turn to for their every need. Initially, Chicago Chesed Fund was founded to provide small amounts of financial support and food distribution around Chicago. As the community and its needs have become increasingly large and diverse, Chicago Chesed Fund has exponentially expanded its programs and services to help where Chicago needs it most.
