We distribute bagged groceries to families in need. The Evanston Vineyard Food Pantry (previously "The Harvest") opened in January 2005 serving 3-5 families a week. Our ministry has grown and we now serve 250 families each week. The Evanston Vineyard Food Pantry serves anyone who needs to make ends meet.

- Patrons are welcome to come twice a month per household/same address.
- Patrons are allowed one visit per household per date.
- Patrons are required to provide only their name and address for our data base and to receive food. (This is a requirement of the Greater Chicago Food Depository, of which The Evanston Vineyard Food Pantry is a member agency. This info is not shared in other way and is solely used for a patron to receive food.)
- Patrons must sign-in at each visit to receive food.
- Patrons can expect to receive pre-bagged nonperishable staple items as well as selecting some other items (such items may include meat, produce, bread and dairy).
- IDs are required for patrons and for proxy pick-ups (see note)

ID Policy
Photo ID with address (address must be current within 30 days). If patron forgets photo ID & is already registered in the database, a utility bill or other non-photo documentation will be accepted one time. A note will be made in database & patron will be turned away next time this happens.

Number Distribution System
- When our doors open and patrons file in, a random number will be selected from a bag. This means there is no need to come early and wait, and no standing in line for hours prior to opening.
- If you are first in the door it does NOT guarantee you will be the first to be served.

The food pantry is open every Wednesday from 6PM to 8PM and is part of the Evanston Vineyard Care Center.

United Church of Rogers Park Community Feast/Soup Kitchen

Phone: (773) 761-2500

Address: 1545 W Morse Ave, Chicago, IL 60626. Get Directions

Hours: Call for hours

The United Church of Rogers Park Community Feast/Soup Kitchen served it’s first dinner on October 7, 1984. The inspiration and commitment to see what we could do to engage with those in our neighborhood in need, began through a small covenant group of the church. We met to learn how to journey with God not just inwardly, but also outwardly (following the model described in a book by Elizabeth O’Conner called Journey Inward, Journey Outward). The idea of doing a Soup Kitchen began with a concern expressed by one member; a desire to make use of the church's little used kitchen; a visit to a neighboring soup kitchen; and, a message from scripture for that week about Jesus feeding the 5,000 with five loaves and two fish (Matthew 14). We decided we could afford to try it for a month and see how it went. It has been a journey; one of struggling to know who would help, where the food and money would come from; finding supplies and equipment to use; and, how to deal with all the people. But the journey has also been one of many blessings. We always had something to cook, people to help and, wonderful people coming to eat. Over the years, as our equipment and kitchen began to wear out, we were also blessed to find people willing to help us improve. So, today we have a beautiful new kitchen, our guests, new lightweight tables and chairs, and MANY wonderful volunteers.

Mobile Food Pantry provides food, hope, and encouragement to communities by utilizing Mobile Food Pantry trucks to bring food directly to those communities in need. A dedicated team of 40 to 50 volunteers distributes food at no charge on a first come, first served basis to 300 families. Families receiving assistance must bring an ID and bags or boxes for food (carts and wagons are also helpful for transporting items). Clients are able to choose groceries that include fresh meat, produce, beverages, and non-perishable products. Many families we serve have one working adult but are not bringing enough income home to make ends meet. By providing food, we are helping families from having to make tough choices between paying their rent/mortgage, utility bills, medicine or feeding their families.

Our weekly emergency food distributions are intended to provide individuals and families enough food for 4-5 days. Those in need are allowed to attend one Wednesday distribution session per calendar month. During the distribution, clients living within our service boundaries receive a well-rounded assortment of food items. The first step is the shopping experience, where clients can choose items they prefer or are in specific need of by using “points.” Points are allotted based on the number of individuals in the household. Bread, produce, meats, canned goods, USDA commodities, and various private donations are packed in addition by volunteers while the client “shops.” Dietary restrictions are accommodated as much as possible. To be fair and to eliminate the need to arrive extremely early, we hand out numbers in a lottery fashion 30 minutes before each session for those that must arrive early. After that, numbers are available on a first come-first serve basis. We ask that clients do not arrive extremely early for a distribution session.

We distribute food every Wednesdays; 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

New Hope Community Food Pantry serves as an emergency food source for neighbors in the 60630, 60631, 60646, and 60656 zip codes. We serve clients every Tuesday from 9:30 am-11:30 am from the basement of the New Hope United Methodist Church in Norwood Park. We provide a three-to-five day supply of food to eligible families in need once per month. We seek to provide all that is needed for a well-balanced diet, although we recognize that the food we are able to distribute is only meant to supplement not provide all of the household's needs. We refer clients who have additional and specific needs to other available resource providers, give clients some training in nutrition and budgeting, and educate the community about hunger in our area and in the world.

Everyone is served the first time they come to the pantry, no matter where they live. Visitors from outside our service area are referred to a food pantry that operates in their locale.

Client Requirements:

Please have a valid ID or current bill in your name at an address in the following zip codes: 60630, 60631, 60646, or 60656. You will also need to provide information about household members and confirm that your total household income falls within a specific range based upon the number of family members. Once you have become a NHCFP client, you are able to visit once per calendar month.

Once you have completed your food shopping, please feel free to visit the Chic Boutique in the church basement. There are gently-loved clothes, shoes, toys, books, or small household items available. Volunteers will be happy to help you find what you need.

It is our pleasure to be of service to you for as long as you need us.

Hours: Call for hours

The Maine Township Emergency Food Pantry provides food on an emergency basis to persons living in the greater Maine Township area. To receive assistance on a continuing basis you must reside in Maine Township. The first Maine Township Food Pantry program began in 1981 when the Township gave out fifteen food baskets during the Christmas season. By 1984 the Emergency Food Pantry had established itself as a regular but relatively minor program under the auspices of the General Assistance department, providing twenty-five baskets of food per month and maintaining its food supply in a single closet. In 1989 the program expanded to a large storage room in the basement of the Township Hall. Today the Emergency Food Pantry supplies 150 boxes of food every month, which go towards feeding over 300 individuals. Each box is hand packed by township staff and volunteers with dozens of non-perishable food items to help supplement the needs of township residents in distress. The food pantry is open for residents Tuesday and Friday from 1-4:30 PM.

Since 1983, Soup at Six has provided dinner from the basement gym of the Hemenway United Methodist Church, 933 Chicago Ave. Our Evanston soup kitchen feeds the hungry every Tuesday night at 4:30pm. Some volunteers arrive early, around 2pm to start the cooking. Around 10-20 volunteers arrive around 3:30pm - 4pm to serve and clean up. We prepare enough food to feed the 100 or so people who attend this free weekly dinner. Soup at Six is an independent, non-sectarian non-profit organization, funded completely from donations and gifts. There is no fancy board to organize fundraisers and no overhead costs. Each penny that is donated goes directly to feed our guests. "One way or another, we figure out a way to keep it open," said Mike Murdock, a volunteer since 1988. The volunteers are very creative and efficient, stretching their funds to prepare soup, a starch, a couple of fresh salads, an entree dessert and bread every week, as well as a sack lunch for guests to take with them. "We give people a ton of food and our cost is around $2 a head," Murdock said. "We serve a great free meal with dignity."

The “client-choice” opportunity will provide more freedom and dignity to the food pantry process, said Onward Neighborhood House’s Executive Director, Mario Garcia.

Shepherd's HOPE - Food Pantry

Hours: Call for hours

On March 3, 2009 a ministry was birthed that the Lord appropriately named Shepherd’s HOPE. Beginning with feeding a homeless man a homemade lunch followed by a series of events, the Lord prompted the founder Brian Anderson to open a food pantry in the dangerous and devastated Englewood community of Chicago. With 3 drug food pantryhouses on the block and constant violence on the street, the Lord used this little 1000 square foot food pantry to rock the lives of many individuals and turn their block and community upside down. Great change has occurred in our community since Shepherd’s Hope opened its doors. Violence has significantly decreased and the drug activity that was so prevalent is greatly diminished. A real sense of community is developing as we serve and show respect to all who enter the doors of Shepherd’s HOPE. From the very beginning, we gave ownership of the food pantry to the community. Nearly all of our volunteers are also clients who live near the pantry. In addition to providing food, we are working to mentor, train and raise HOPE for the residents of this community. Much of that goal is realized through the daily tasks at the pantry.

Our food distribution hours are: Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30 to 8pm, and Saturdays, 11:30am to 1pm. You may drop off donations Tuesday and Thursday 4:30-8pm, and Saturday 10am to 1pm or call in advance.

People are surprised to learn that even in our “affluent” communities there are many people, young, elderly and in-between, who do not have the resources to feed themselves or their families adequately. That is why the Niles Township Food Pantry exists – to aid those who need food, especially on an emergency basis. We want to make sure that every person has the food they need to sustain themselves, so we are always seeking donations to help the over 3,500 individuals (on average) who use our pantry every month. With these bad economic times, the number of people who need the food pantry keeps increasing. This past holiday season, the Niles Township Food Pantry has supplied food to more than 5,500 individuals alone.

Liberty In Christ Center - Food Pantry

Hours: Call for hours

We firmly believe that feeding the poor is a Biblical mandate for all Christians. Liberty Center is our primary food distribution center. Based in the Little Village Neighborhood in South West Chicago, the food pantry is open to distribute food and hope to the neighborhood. Last year our pantry distributed 52 tons of food and so far we have used over $25,000 of food. We also distribute blankets and baby clothing as it is donated. Most of the food we distribute is purchased for pennies on the dollar at the Greater Chicago Food Depository. We gladly accept in kind donations of canned and boxed goods. However, given the ability to purchase canned goods, fresh fruits, and frozen meats so inexpensively, a dollar donated goes farther than a dollar spent on a food and then donated.

RTW Veteran Center - Soup Kitchen

Hours: Call for hours

The RTW Veteran Center has been serving hot meals from 10AM to 6PM to those without for over 3 years, and it hasn’t been an easy task. RTW Veteran Center volunteers pick up food every night to stock up for the next busy day. And With our 2012 rate of service, we provided over 4,000 meals a month. Students from the culinary art school Le Cordon Bleu have recognized the Veteran Center as an important community service in the south side of Chicago and have joined in our efforts by volunteering. These resourceful chefs pull together amazing dishes using bare minimum resources to give the needy a good, wholesome and nutritious meal. While eating, our Center provides entertainment through educational content as our staff members go over options with those looking for jobs, addiction rehab programs, and emergency shelters. By taking care of the immediate things such as food, clothes, and shelter, we are then able to assist in helping people get stabilized. In 2011 we gave out over 15,000 meals to those who visited our center and eat out of our kitchen. These included the youth, teenagers, youth adults, families, adults, and seniors. In 2012 we increased this amount serving over 4,000 meals per month and 2013 are numbers are yet increasing. It is the RTW Veteran Center's goal to provide free balanced health meals three times per day, seven days per week to veterans, their families, and all who are in need. If this is an effort you wish to support whether small or large, please click our donations page.

Hunger may seem far away in a generally affluent community like Oak Park and River Forest. But even in the midst of affluence, people struggle with hunger. In Oak Park alone, it is estimated that over 6,000 individuals are “food insecure”—they do not know where their next meal is coming from. We’re not alone. 1 in 6 Americans struggles with Hunger. It is worse for families with children: 1 in 4 are food insecure. In its effort to provide hunger relief in 2013, Oak Park River Forest Food Pantry provided nutritious groceries, produce, meat and dairy products to 16,255 local families comprised of 43,937 individuals. We serve residents of 12 zip codes including portions of the city of Chicago (Austin, West Humboldt Park, Galewood) and most of the suburbs surrounding Oak Park. All clients must meet income guidelines and are limited to service once per month. Photo ID and proof of residency within our service boundaries are required for service. Each month, volunteers donate over 1700 hours of labor helping to feed their hungry neighbors. The value of that donated labor last fiscal year was over $175,000!

Marillac Food Pantry

Hours: Call for hours

Marillac’s Food Pantry serves individuals and families on the West Side of Chicago by providing food, nutrition and health education, and connection to a variety of other needed resources. Marillac House Food Pantry is a member agency of the Greater Chicago Food Depository’s network of 650 food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. In 2011, Marillac received recognition from GCFD for demonstrating best practices in serving our clients. Our service area is considered a “food desert” – meaning there is a significant lack of access to healthy, affordable food – especially fresh produce. According to a 2011 Greater Chicago Food Depository study, there are over 50,000 food insecure residents living in the communities we serve. The poverty rate averages over 30%, and in East Garfield Park and North Lawndale, it is 43%. As these statistics clearly demonstrate, there is a critical need for food assistance programs in these communities. In the past two years, there have been food pantries closing in our area, as well as other pantries further limiting their service boundaries. Consequently, Marillac’s food pantry continues to serve more families every month. Marillac served an average of 500 families per month in 2010. In 2012, Marillac’s food pantry has served over 1,000 families each month. A record-breaking 1,357 families were served in October 2012. Our pantry is Client Choice, meaning that clients are able to pick out food that best fits their families’ needs, rather than receiving a pre-packed bag of groceries. Client Choice empowers clients to make nutrition and health decisions for themselves and their families. It also promotes a welcoming and respectful environment in which clients access needed services. We offer a variety of healthy options including fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy, meat, and bread.

Hours: Call for hours

Every Tuesday night, between 250 and 350 neighbors come to our Food Pantry seeking a bag of groceries. We provide a nutritionally balanced grocery bag to each person, which includes fresh milk, bread and meat. We also offer a “no-kitchen” option with easy-to-fix items and pop-top lids for our neighbors who primarily live on the streets. Our Community Kitchen provides a family-style meal for more than 120 neighbors each week. Teams of dedicated volunteers prepare and serve a hot entrée, vegetable, bread and often dessert. The majority of our patrons reside within a twelve-block area but some travel from as far as the South Side for our meal and fellowship. Several times a year, our dining hall is transformed into a four-star restaurant called the All Saints’ Café. At our Café, our neighbors enjoy choosing a gourmet multi-course meal from a specially prepared menu. Choices include wonderful delights such as prime rib, Oriental stir-fry and Greek chicken. They are also attended to by a wait staff and surrounded by music and entertainment. We partner with Ravenswood School in hopes of ensuring a powerful future for young people in our neighborhood. We produce the “Reality Fair,” a three-dimensional manifestation of the popular board game Life. This virtual game teaches 8th graders practical life skills through choices and financial realities, and it helps students consider their futures. In our newest program, “focus:future,” mentors guide soon-to-be-graduating students through the stressful and competitive high school program application process.

Our Lady of Lourdes Soup Kitchen

Phone: (773) 561-2141

Address: 4640 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60640. Get Directions

Hours: Call for hours

Our Lady of Lourdes Soup Kitchen was started in 1980 as a Lenten project. A few of the initial founders are Rosemary Vallely, Helen Cosgrove and John Klemanovic. They continue to help as possible. In the beginning, food was begged from various sources. Now we are able to purchase from the Greater Chicago Food Depository and we are often blessed with food donations from local stores and restaurants. In the early days dinners were put on actual dinner plates that would have to be washed. Today we use Styrofoam. This cuts time and makes the soup kitchen easier to manage. We serve up to 300 meals per week. We have always had cooked meals and have never served soup. Our guests leave with a sack lunch. When quantities of left over food are large enough, they are distributed to the guests in to-go containers. In addition, we are blessed to have two outside agencies that assist us during the year. Our Lady or Ransom Parish comes on the fourth week in the odd numbered months during the school year. They provide all the food. They also participate at Thanksgiving and have a large clothing drive to provide warm clothes for the clients. The Ancient Order of Hibernians is another group that participates and they also provide the food. They participate the week before Thanksgiving, the Wednesday before Christmas Week and the Wednesday before Easter. The hours of operation for the soup kitchen are from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday.

Tips for Visiting a Food Pantry

Show up early.

This is very important. This means you will be first in line and have a chance to get the items that are sought after and in limited quantities such as fresh produce, dairy and frozen food.

You don't usually need to show up hours ahead of time but coming at least an hour before is usually a good idea.

Remember all documentation.

Some food pantries require documentation to prove who you are, and in some cases, where you live.

This is to make sure people are not coming more than they are allowed or using fake names to do so. Call ahead of time to find out what documentation is needed.

This is often a photo ID and a piece of mail that verifies your address.

Use several food banks.

Using more than one food bank (when available) is smart because you may be able to get something at one that you may not get at another.

For instance, one may have a deal with a local gardener that gives them their extras. This may mean this food bank has more produce.

Eligible for other programs?

Ask your Department of Social Services office if you are eligible for other assistance programs to supplement your household’s food supply.

They can easily tell you if you can apply for WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), USDA Commodities or SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.

Ask about extras.

If you have special needs for infants or special diets, the pantries may be able to assist you.

Many times, they can help with diapers, baby formula, baby food, personal hygiene products, and even special diet items like gluten free or sugar free foods.

Go on different days of the week.

Depending on the food pantry, they may be open only one or two days a week or they may be open all seven days. When you have a choice, going midweek is often best as it is less crowded.

Be polite to workers.

Nearly everyone at a food bank is a volunteer. Be polite to the workers there as they often deal with highly emotional situations.
