Provisur Raises $10,000, Packs 9 Tons of Food for Chicago-Area Food Banks

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, October 27, 2026 - Provisur employee owners teed up at the Green Garden Country Club in Frankfort, Ill., on September 17, 2026, for "Swing Fore a Cause," a charity golf outing to benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository (GCFD) and Frankfort Township Food Pantry (FTFP).

Swing Fore a Cause collected four cases of canned goods for FTFP and raised $5,000 for GCFD from sponsorships and onsite fundraising. A matching donation from Fortifi doubled the total GCFD donation to $10,000. Five Provisur employee owners continued the volunteer effort at GCFD on September 18, when they helped pack 18,175 pounds of food, equal to 15,146 meals for Chicagoland area residents in need.

"The work of the Greater Chicago Food Depository is vitally important to our community, and we are proud and humbled to stand alongside its volunteers and staff," said Rob Kalkowski, President of Provisur. "What they do for the people of Chicagoland is invaluable."

Provisur is part of Fortifi Food Processing Solutions, a leading global food processing automation solutions platform committed to reducing food insecurity, loss and waste. The Fortifi Enriching Communities initiative supports these priorities in Fortifi companies' local communities through volunteerism, donations and events like Swing Fore a Cause.
