FOOD PANTRY DIRECTOR

Gail Robinson began directing the Food Pantry in 2020. She oversees a distribution program that feeds dozens of South Side families every week during the pandemic, through the support of The Greater Chicago Food Depository.

At the Pantry, Gail leads an energetic and loving community of volunteers. If you are interested in joining this team, please email hello@chicagofirstchurch.org. 

For the duration of the pandemic, we are operating with a reduced number of volunteers.
