Every week throughout the year, we provide Food distribution every Tuesdays from 8 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
* Please bring your photo ID and proof of county residency*.

On the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month, we also serve as the only distribution center in Boone County for the Northern Illinois Food Bank’s “My Pantry Express”. Click on the link below for additional information on distribution in your area for online resource for groceries when needed.

We are currently operating under a drive-through service model. Please arrive with an empty trunk and we will greet you while you stay in your vehicle. Food will be loaded into your trunk.

Hunger knows no geographic boundaries. Although our primary focus is serving our neighbors in Boone County, the need to provide our services has grown. We also have a significant number of neighbors from Lake, McHenry and Winnebago counties. We welcome all neighbors!
