Each year the Food Pantry distributes food and grocery products to underserved families and individuals in Kane County and surrounding counties.
Whether you are interested in donating a case of canned goods, a pallet of close-to-code groceries, or a simple bar of soap – we make sure your donation gets to those families in need.
Food and supplies are accepted on Wednesday and Friday, 9 am – 1:00 pm at the Food Pantry or call for appointment.
