Wonder Announces $1 Million to 200 NYC and Chicago Organizations through Full Plate Program

Wonder was built with a simple mission: to make great food more accessible. Our partnerships and initiatives - from food-recovery efforts that reduce waste and expand access, to employee volunteer programs, to grants that support local food banks, pantries, shelters, and community organizations - strengthen the local food ecosystems we operate in and help build greater resilience across the communities we serve.

Now in its third year, the Full Plate Program has awarded $1 million in funding to 200 nonprofit organizations across New York City and Chicago. Through the Grubhub Community Fund, Wonder continues to support community-driven solutions by providing each organization with a $5,000 grant.

This year's Full Plate Program was administered in partnership with the Food Bank For New York Cityand the Greater Chicago Food Depository, supporting their networks of organizations that are on the front lines of addressing food insecurity across the five boroughs of New York City and the Chicagoland region. The program reached 43 NYC neighborhoods and 60 Chicago neighborhoods, with funding supporting nonprofits in procuring and distributing food and meals while strengthening their operational capacity to meet growing demand.

The Full Plate Program prioritized high-need communities in both cities, focusing on neighborhoods disproportionately affected by changes to SNAP benefits and areas designated as food deserts with limited access to healthy food options. Priority was given to food pantries and soup kitchens serving vulnerable populations and communities experiencing increased need.

Hear from a few of our 2025 Full Plate Program grantees:

Blue Cap Food Pantry - Chicago, IL

Blue Cap Food Pantry has served food desert communities, including Blue Island, Robbins, Calumet Park, Dixmoor, Posen, and Riverdale. Grant funding will allow the pantry to expand access to ethnic and culturally relevant food options. With Grubhub's support, Blue Cap Food Pantry will continue advancing food equity, workforce development for people with disabilities, and inclusive community care-ensuring families receive food that nourishes both body and culture.

Connections for the Homeless - Evanston, IL

Connections for the Homeless food pantry is the largest in Evanston and serves over 250 households per week. The pantry operates as part of a daytime drop-in program for people experiencing homelessness, poverty, and food insecurity. Funding from the Grubhub Community Fund will help the organization meet the comprehensive needs of participants visiting our drop-in program. In addition to food, visitors can drop in and access clothing, showers, laundry services, a health clinic, and case management services.

Community Health Action of Staten Island (CHASI)- Staten Island, NY

CHASI will use the $5,000 grant to invest in its Mobile Food Pantry distribution, strengthening its ability to fight hunger, reduce waste, and build a healthier, more resilient Staten Island. Each mile driven represents a tangible act of service, transforming surplus food into nourishment, stability, and hope for neighbors across New York City.

Part of the Solution (POTS)- Bronx, NY

POTS plans to use the funding to purchase a booster for its dishwasher, which is currently broken and has required the use of disposable plates and utensils. Its soup kitchen program is on track to serve 250,000 meals in the dining room this year. The grant will also support $2,500 in food purchases - equivalent to approximately 1,666 meals - in the community dining room.

Food Bank For New York City and the Greater Chicago Food Depository managed eligibility notifications and grant distribution, ensuring resources reached organizations efficiently and at moments of greatest need-enabling real-time responses to urgent community demands.

"The Greater Chicago Food Depository is grateful for Grubhub's support of our partner food pantries, especially as food insecurity remains elevated and is expected to rise with coming changes to safety net programs," said Amy Laboy, Vice President of Programs and Community Partnerships for the Food Depository. "The grants through the Full Plate Program support our food access partners in providing their guests a dignified experience as they receive the food they need to thrive."

"Continued investment from the Grubhub Community Fund in our network of food pantries and soup kitchens means everything to those we serve," said Leslie Gordon, President and CEO at Food Bank For NYC. "Their commitment to helping us build more resilient communities is truly transformative. As we work to strengthen food access across the city, we're thankful for the Grubhub unwavering partnership and the powerful impact they continue to deliver to New Yorkers in need."

Wonder is committed to helping build stronger, more food-secure communities by supporting programs that deliver nutritious meals to those who need them most. We appreciate the partnership of Food Bank For New York City and the Greater Chicago Food Depository in advancing this important work.
