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.

Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry
Phone: (630) 782-1066
Address: 1083 S York Rd, Elmhurst, IL 60126. Get Directions
Hours: Call for hours
The purpose of the Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry is for the charitable distribution of food for the relief of hunger to our neighbors in need residing in the communities surrounding us, including Elmhurst, Addison, Bensenville, Berkeley, Hillside, Lombard, Oak Brook and Villa Park. The Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry (EYFP) was started in 1983 by concerned people at Yorkfield Presbyterian Church who saw a need to help hungry people in their own backyard. It started in a walk-in closet at Yorkfield Presbyterian Church as an infrequently used resource serving approximately 25 people each week at that time. It has grown continuously, moving to the basement of the “cottage†facility at 1083 S. York Road in 1998. In 2012, the organization moved to re-incorporate as an independent not-for-profit in the State of Illinois. In February, 2014, 501(c) (3) status through the IRS was granted. This will enable the EYFP to better serve more clients through a vision of a new facility with the ability to increase the efficiency of service to our clients, to respect client dignity, to become a more ecumenical organization and to recognize our service to multiple communities. The Pantry now distributes food to clients three days a week during four shifts, 52 weeks a year. Families can shop for food from the Pantry as often as monthly in a “client choice†model. Our clients range from those who have recently lost their jobs, those who are chronically unemployed, those who are underemployed and elderly retirees living exclusively on modest Social Security checks or other fixed income. During the fiscal year 2013, the EYFP served client families 3,833 times, averaging over 300 families per month. Of these, 465 families were new users of the food pantry, indicating the continuing and increasing need for our services. In its effort to provide hunger relief, the Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry provides nutritious groceries, produce, meat, dairy and non-perishable products to local families. The Pantry currently distributes over 250,000 pounds of food each year to clients. During the fiscal year 2013, 6995 hours of volunteered labor were accrued to help feed our hungry neighbors. This represents an increase of 1921 hours of volunteer service over fiscal year 2012. The value of that donated labor during fiscal year 2013 was almost $60,000 at minimum wage, and that does not include volunteer leadership time for the Board of Directors. There is no paid staff at the Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry. There is a volunteer board of directors, which meets at least monthly, composed of two co-directors, a secretary, a treasurer and three members at large. Members represent the Yorkfield Presbyterian Church community and the greater Elmhurst ecumenical community. These leaders also run all operations of the EYFP, including volunteer coordination, food drive coordination, sorting/date checking/stocking of food after food drives and food recovery, community outreach, etc. Pantry partnerships with other local agencies are strong and growing. The Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry is grateful for a robust volunteer cadre from the local communities. We are also indebted to many volunteer fiscal and food drive efforts.

The Glen Ellyn Food Pantry is an ecumenical endeavor of Glen Ellyn churches who cooperate in providing food and volunteers to serve people in need who reside in Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, Lombard, Carol Stream, Lisle, and Glendale Heights. The Glen Ellyn Food Pantry began in the spring of 1979 when the high school youth group of Grace Lutheran Church collected food for people in need, and it continued to grow from there. Today the Pantry operates independently of the church but is housed in its building. The Glen Ellyn Food Pantry was incorporated in 1985 and is currently supported by 16 Sponsoring Glen Ellyn churches. Each of the Sponsoring Churches is represented on the pantry board by one of its members. Each board member works in the pantry, is responsible for coordinating additional volunteers and arranging food drives through their church. The number of families served by the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry has increased dramatically over the past two years. Currently, the Pantry serves about 300 families every month (around 1200 individuals). Clients seek the Pantry’s assistance when they need help providing nourishing food for their families. Some have faced the loss of a job and need a little help until they are employed again, or they may be under employed and the assistance enables them to make ends meet. Sometimes a family incurs large medical expenses or experiences a divorce or death. Senior citizens who are of fixed incomes, people struck by illness, and the disabled are given assistance. Clients are seen by appointment and are only allowed one visit per month and six visits per year. The Glen Ellyn Food Pantry is run by four part-time staff members and hundreds of volunteers. When not serving clients, They sort and inspect donated food and stock the shelves. Volunteers shop for fresh meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs, and personal hygiene items. The Glen Ellyn Food Pantry’s annual Thanksgiving event helps clients put a warn holiday meal of the table for their families. The meals are sponsored by donations from the community and includes a turkey, potatoes, and other non-perishable Thanksgiving necessities. Last year, after two days of handing out food, pantry volunteer supplies about 550 local families, nearly 100 more than the previous year.

Following the Sunnah of Rasoolullah SAW, some brothers started the initiative of supporting the needy families (mostly refugees community) by providing them basic food items to fulfill their dietary needs. The program was initially started in order to support poor underprivileged families within the South side Chicago area. Alhamdulillah, with the tremendous support of volunteers from the neighborhood, the program has been expanded and extended the support to the needy families throughout the Chicagoland and surrounding states such as Wisconsin. Anyone can participate in our food pantry program. The process is very simple. We have a list of non-perishable items we distribute among the needy families on a monthly basis. We have a proper room for storing these food items. All we ask our visitors to carry this list with you and buy as many items you can from this list. Another way of supporting this program is by donating funds towards the program.

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.

4. What is the difference between a food pantry and a soup kitchen?
