Food for Greater Elgin is a guest-choice food pantry providing food assistance to those in need. Our guests have access to nutritious options including meat, dairy, produce and shelf-stable items and can shop during one of our five weekly distribution times. Our guest-choice approach offers guests ownership, dignity and the opportunity to choose foods that match their ethnic, dietary or family needs. Each week, we feed more than 3,000 individuals, a third of whom are children. Food for Greater Elgin is one of the three largest pantries in Northern Illinois Food Bank's 13-county service area, and the largest in Kane County. Food for Greater Elgin is aggressively addressing food insecurity in our community with ending hunger as our ultimate goal. As we continue to build strategic, collaborative partnerships, we are striving to be the primary resource for food in our region. Despite misconceptions about hunger and poverty, food assistance stabilizes lives. When our guests have the food they need for physical nourishment, they can can address their other basic human needs. Some of those needs can be met through our Community Resource Center where clients can access an array of services and information that helps promote greater self-sufficiency. As a collaborative effort with other organizations and businesses in the community, Food for Greater Elgin provides a holistic approach to food assistance through workshops and services addressing health and wellness, finances, legal services, pet supplies, bill/utility assistance, budgeting and others. Ultimately, food security helps children excel in school, improves productivity in the workplace, keeps seniors healthy, and provides ongoing family stability. We know that food is a catalyst for change! Be a part of that change! Donate. Volunteer. Take Action. To get involved, visit our website or call 847-931-9330.
