UChicago Medicine diners can round up food purchases to support hospital food pantries
Cashiers will now ask customers if they'd like to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar to support Feed 1st, the hospital-based food pantries for patients and their families.
The next time you eat at Sky Café, Café Central and the Kitchen at Billings, you’ll be able to make a small donation to help University of Chicago Medicine patients and their families who face food insecurity.
Starting Oct. 2, customers will be given the option to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar to support the hospital’s rooftop gardens.
