Greater Chicago Food Depository A+ Awards Special Mention

We are thrilled to announce that the Greater Chicago Food Depository has been honored with a Special Mention in the Architizer A+ Awards for the Architecture + For Good category. Out of thousands of global submissions, less than 5% of projects received this prestigious recognition, marking the Food Depository as a leader in design that serves community needs and drives social impact.

Receiving this Special Mention from Architizer is a testament to the power of architecture and design to uplift communities and drive meaningful change. We are proud to have collaborated with Spark, Skender, and many more on this transformative project, setting a new standard for community-focused design that not only addresses immediate needs but builds lasting infrastructure for future generations.

Congratulations to the entire team and every volunteer who helped bring this project to life. Together, we are not just building spaces—we are building hope and resilience in our communities.
