About Us

Food Pantry open to public Friday 2pm-4pm

The Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry is dedicated to providing families and individuals with food in an effort to improve their living environments. We achieve this objective by meeting current and future hunger needs of our neighbors in need.

More than 62,000 people suffer from hunger and under nutrition in Kane County. The Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry was the pioneer food pantry in the Aurora, founded to make basic life needs available to those who need them.

Each year, the Pantry serves the nutritional needs for over 3,000 families and individuals and that number continues to grow each week. Many of our pantry clients are children, the elderly, low income residents and the disabled. Clients also include the “working poor”, those individuals who are employed but do not earn enough to make ends meet.
