What we do

Every week, we provide grocery assistance, household supplies, and personal care items to our neighbors facing financial challanges. We offer holiday meal boxes, school supplies for students and home delivery to seniors who can’t easily make it to us. Our pantry is more than a place to pick up food, it’s a place where people feel welcomed, respected and supported.

Why we do it

Because food is more than just something on the table, it’s comfort, stability and hope. When families don’t have to worry about their next meal, they can focus on everything else that matters. We do this work to remind our neighbors they’re not alone, to break the stigma around visiting a pantry and to help build a future where everyone in our community can thrive.

How we do it

We couldn’t do any of this without the amazing generosity of our community. Volunteers give their time, donors give what they can, and local businesses, schools, and organizations pitch in with food drives, garden harvests and financial support. With our partnership with the Northern Illinois Food Bank, our generous supporters and dedicated volunteers, we keep our shelves stocked and our doors open. Every single act of kindness makes a difference here.
