Success Story: Inspiration Corporation, Chicago, IL

Inspiration Corporation asked IFF for an acquisition and construction loan for its fourth site, where

meals for the homeless and food services training are provided. Already a two-time loan customer,

IFF provided them with a loan to develop Inspiration Kitchens, a restaurant, catering, and job training

facility on Chicago’s west side that will serve meals to an estimated 3,500 low-income families, train

100 people for jobs, and create 12 full-time jobs.
