Donation Drop-Off Info

Food donations can be dropped off during the Food Pantry’s operating hours (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30am–4:30pm, and Thursday from 8:30am–7:00pm). Donors may bring items through the front entrance, but for larger donations, please pull around to the north side of the building and use the grey double doors. Ring the doorbell and let staff know you have a donation—our team will come out to assist you. If you need help bringing items inside, please don’t hesitate to call us at 847-724-8300.

When the Food Pantry is closed, non-perishable food donations may be placed in the collection bins also located on the north side of the building. Please only use these collection bins when the Food Pantry is not open.
