Join M.U.R.A.L's fight for Food Justice in Chicago


On #GivingTuesday people all over the world will unite with one mission: supporting their favorite charities. After celebrating with our families WE united as one people by rolling up our sleeves donating time, money and resources.

Food is a basic need. Yet, in a recent study conducted by Feed America, nearly 494,734 Cook County residents live in food insecure neighborhoods. Parents are struggling to provide their children with the most basic needs. M.U.R.A.L Chicago ask that you consider Chicago’s youth on Give Tuesday! We provide a safe space for inner-city youth to survive and thrive.

Our Food Justice Program has donated over 2000 lbs of vegetables and fruits, established mobile markets, taught classes on nutrition, juicing and canning and exercise to families on the west and south sides of Chicago.
Join M.U.R.A.L Chicago in the fight against poor nutrition and unhealthy eating! We provide low-income families with meals and education to raise their confidence and knowledge to increase longevity of families in need.

Please share the program with your friends and tell them why you support M.U.R.A.L Chicago! #ILGive #wearemural #GiveTuesday


About M.U.R.A.L

M.U.R.A.L. (Magnifying Urban Realities and Affecting Lives) formerly the Lupe Fiasco Foundation’s Chicago community partners include Brown Sugar Bakery, Columbia College Chicago, Adidas, After School Matters, Donda’s House, House of Blues Chicago, IMAN (Inner City Muslim Action Network), New Birth Christian Center, Blackhawk Charities, Black Theater Network Midwest Region, Northeastern Illinois University, WGCI Morning Riot Radio Show, Project Orange Tree and more. The organization’s original mission to provide warm meals and coats to families in need quickly expanded to include music education, curriculum and a host of other arts-based initiatives in Chicago inner-city communities. By 2009, Wasalu Jaco and co-founder Ayesha Jaco realized the need to organize and expand this outreach and M.U.R. A.L was born. M.U.R.A.L. continues the mission of empowering inner city youth as artists, activists and global citizens.
