Our Programs
Our Programs Distribute to Those in Need
More than half of the Pantry’s groceries are distributed outside the walls and halls of our home at 55 N. Park Blvd. in Glen Ellyn. Because transportation is not always easy for our neighbors who are at risk of hunger, we bring the groceries to them- where they need help the most. And these important services would not be possible without the support of our nonprofit partners.
