Hunger Relief

Tony’s Fresh Market is dedicated to the neighborhoods where we operate and our commitment to the local community extends past the confines of our stores.

Throughout the 2020 – 2024, Tony’s Fresh Market supports many local Food Banks through the Northern IL Food Bank, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and food service programs like Bags of Hope in Plainfield, IL. We continue to support local holiday giving programs throughout the community.

Health & Children’s Wellbeing

The Tony’s Charitable Foundation is passionate about advancing initiatives and causes aimed at improving the quality of life for children in our local communities.

Most recently, Tony’s Fresh Market supported the Infant Welfare Society, located across from our original location on Fullerton Ave. in Chicago, IL. The Infant Welfare Society’s mission is to “provide a continuum of integrated, quality, and preventive health care services to children and their families, enabling them to lead healthy and productive lives.”

Additionally, in 2019, we donated $50,000 to AMITA Health Women & Children’s Hospital and AMITA Autism Resource Center in Hoffman Estates. AMITA Autism Resource Center works with individuals from early childhood through adulthood who have an autism spectrum or developmental disorder. Their unique facility provides care, information, and assistance to families in need.
