Wish List

The Association House of Chicago is a nonprofit agency that is assisted by donations of many kinds. Some choose to donate money, others their time. All donations are appreciated.

If you are interested in donating any of the items listed below please contact us at (773) 772-7170.

• Food for the Pantry
  Each month an average of 300 families receive food from the Association House Greater Humboldt Park Food Pantry, impacting nearly 1,000 individuals monthly.
  
  But there is not enough food for the growing number of families that come to our door each day. Our food supply is diminishing as donors are being asked to support natural disasters and other catastrophic events. Recent food reductions mean that we are increasingly reliant on food drives organized by volunteer groups.
  
  If you are interested in organizing a drive, the following is a list of preferred non-perishable food items: beans, bread, cereal (dry), chicken (canned), macaroni and cheese, oatmeal/hot cereal, pancake mix, pasta, pasta sauce, peanut butter, rice, salt, soup, sugar, tomato sauce, tuna (canned), vegetables (canned).
  
  
• For Infants
  We have an immediate need for new or gently used car seats for infants and toddlers. These car seats will be given to the foster parents who are providing homes to children in our Child Welfare division so that they may safely transport children to and from the Association House, school, and other sites. If you are interested in making a donation, please call 773-772-7170 ext. 9101.
