Food Pantry

For over ten years, European American Association (EAA) with the help of it's devoted volunteers, has been helping to fight hunger through our neighborhood Food Pantry. We are very proud of the countless low-medium income families, individuals and senior citizens we have been able to help feed through this program. EAA is a member agency of the Greater Chicago food Depository (GCFD), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Federal Emergency Managing Agency (FEMA) and Chicago Anti-Hunger Federation. These memberships along with individual donations permits EAA to provide food for those in need, with the hope that – someday – no one will ever go hungry.

We are put on this earth for a very short time, so let us help each other whenever we can, for someday all that may matter is what we did to help those who needed us.

LIHEAP

In conjunction with the Community and Economic Development Association of Cook County, Inc. (CEDA) and it's LIHEAP , EAA is currently providing help to low-income individuals, families and seniors who are having difficulties paying their utility bills.

Emergency Senior Home Repair

This program, sponsored through the Illinois Department on Aging, is designed to provide some of the services needed for Senior Citizens to avoid nursing home or hospital placement, by strengthening their ability to function in their own home and remain independent longer yet still allowing them to retain a sense of dignity and self-esteem.
