our vision

To inspire, empower and improve the quality of life for African Americans in under resourced neighborhoods.

To provide resources to children and families in underserved neighborhoods through summer programming.

Originally started in 2017 with a monthly feeding program to those in need, The Hey Benji Foundation was established September 2020 as a nonprofit organization. Based on the south side of Chicago, in the heart of Englewood, we provide the community with a number of free food programs, indoor and outdoor children activities, safe spaces for counseling, shelter, and enrichments.
