The Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) makes a daily impact on hunger by distributing nutritious food across Chicago and Cook County. Their new volunteer orientation space informs visitors of the incredible work employees at the food bank perform each day and inspires community members to support their mission. Office branding reminds employees of the organization to cultivate and celebrate progress daily. Former President Barack Obama was first to sign the chalkboard in the volunteer orientation center and artwork created by students in non-profit art programs is displayed to highlight local partnership.
