Founded in 2010, the Chi-Town Jazz Festival is the jazz community’s annual effort to support hunger relief in Chicago. Music clubs and concert halls donate their venues, musicians in the jazz community donate their talents, and our our organizing, creative and fundraising committees donate their time. We raise financial support from Chicago area businesses, corporations and individuals which is donated to well recognized, established entities including Catholic Charities.

The funds raised from this year’s festival will be donated to Care for Real and Catholic Charities. This year we are pleased to add Care for Real to our list of partners. Care For Real is a food pantry and food delivery service to the homebound that is located in Edgewater. I am impressed with their commitment to providing food for a growing number of individuals and families. The folks who ask Care for Real for help include seniors on fixed incomes, people who have lost their jobs, and families who can’t stretch their paychecks to cover all of their food costs. Many of these people never thought they would turn to a food pantry for help…..ChiTownJazzFestival.Org
