Starting November 1st, Penelope’s Vegan Taqueria will provide FREE MEALS to children and pregnant women until SNAP and WIC benefits are restored.
As someone who grew up in the Back of the Yards neighborhood with limited resources — and who often didn’t have access to a hot meal as a child — I feel a deep responsibility to give back and support those who depend the most on those programs and, of course, our future.
Please keep supporting our small businesses so we can continue serving our community.
If any businesses or individuals would like to contribute baked goods or other items to include with these meals, please email or DM us.
We want to care for our community, so please share this message on your social media to help us reach those who are not online. I’ll also share it with local schools, shelters, and food pantries.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you or someone you know needs a hot meal. Many people don’t realize that we already provide meals to community members who are unhoused or struggling — especially in our Pilsen and Andersonville locations.
With winter and the holidays approaching, let’s continue showing kindness, respect, and compassion whenever possible.
Much appreciated,
Juan
Chef Owner
