Food Pantries

Put Food on Your Table!

A food pantry setup with tables filled with canned goods, juice bottles, and bags of beans. People are filling bags with food items.
Volunteers work together outdoors, unpacking and sorting boxes of fresh produce for distribution.
Volunteers distribute bags of fresh produce and other food items to community members outside our Lincoln Square Neighborhood Center. A woman with a shopping cart receives assistance, while other volunteers organize food packages from the tables.

Our food pantries offer fresh produce and basic foods to nourish you and your family. We partner with food banks to tackle hunger in our communities.

What is a Food Parcel?

A food parcel provides a few days’ worth of food for individuals or families, including non-perishable items and other essentials.
