Feeding the Hungry

Food Pantry

Contact: Leni Duffy
 

Our food pantry currently serves 200 households in need each month. Non-perishable food items and monetary donations come from our parishioners and the Park Ridge community. Mother Teresa and St. Ann's Guild members shelve food donations in the pantry. Mother Teresa's Guild also purchases ground beef each month from their Labors of Love fundraising event. St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church members, who serve on their social concerns board, volunteer and drop off monthly food and fund donations.

How it Works

Since COVID 19, our food distribution is done curbside on Summit Ave, 8 - 10 a.m., on the last Saturday of each month, except in November and December when it is open on the third Saturday to accommodate our holiday outreach. The food pantry is located on campus in the southeast corner of the Kinane Center with its own outside entry. A dropbox from the outside is provided for non perishable food donations. Monetary donations to the food pantry are used to supplement our inventory.

New clients need a photo ID showing current address plus another proof of name and address to register for the pantry.

 We serve residents from the following zip codes; 60068, 60016, 60018, 60174 and 60631.
