St. Peter Community Food Pantry

Our Food Pantry is open the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. to distribute food and give information to those in need. Volunteers also help on other days to restock the pantry, and assist at food drives during the year. Contact (630)-232-0124 x444. We are operated totally by volunteers in space donated by St. Peter Church. This pantry has been serving the Fox Valley for over 20 years. Food and other non-perishable items are obtained from: financial donations used to purchase goods at greatly reduced prices from the Northern Illinois Food Bank; donations of food and non perishables from Food Drives sponsored by our church, local schools, library, Scouts, letter carriers, business and community organizations. The pantry serves 275 families twice a month and the number climbs to 300-plus families during the holidays. Two bags containing about 25 lbs of food, cleaning products and personal hygiene items are distributed twice a month to each family. The families include about 350 children under 18, 300 elderly over 65, and 70 disabled persons.
