The holiday season is a time for giving back, and our team at Levin & Perconti was proud to do just that. This year, we came together to support Nourishing Hope, a Chicago-based nonprofit that helps neighbors in need access food, mental health services, and essential resources.
Through our annual food drive, we raised 227 pounds of food and $5,000 to help provide critical support to families across Chicago. Managing Partner Margaret Battersby Black personally delivered the check and food donations to Nourishing Hope, ensuring our contributions would go directly toward making a difference in our community.
Why We Support Nourishing Hope
Nourishing Hope is one of Chicago’s largest hunger-relief organizations. Each year, it delivers the equivalent of millions of meals to thousands of people throughout the city. But its work goes far beyond food.
The organization takes a whole-person approach to helping neighbors thrive. In addition to walk-in food pantries, home delivery, and an online market, Nourishing Hope offers trauma-informed mental health counseling and social services. These include job search assistance, housing and utility support, and help navigating public benefits. It provides all of these services without requiring insurance, removing barriers for families who need help the most.
Their mission says it best: “Nourishing Hope through food, mental health, and social services so that all of our neighbors can thrive.” The organization envisions a city where everyone has the resources they need to live with dignity and respect. That’s a vision we’re honored to support.
A Team Effort
This food drive was truly a team effort. Staff members across our firm contributed food items, made donations, and helped organize the collection. The energy and enthusiasm from everyone involved made this initiative a success.
For us, community involvement isn’t just something we do during the holidays. It’s part of who we are as a firm. We’ve spent decades advocating for individuals and families facing some of life’s most difficult challenges. That commitment to helping people extends beyond the courtroom and into the neighborhoods we serve.
Chicago is our home. The families who live here are our neighbors, and when they struggle, we want to be there to help. Partnering with organizations like Nourishing Hope allows us to make a tangible impact in the lives of people who need it most.
