The Food Pantry Program offers assistance to families experiencing hardship in today’s recession economy. Every Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., the Wellness Pantry provides low-income residents with fresh fruits and vegetables as well as dry goods and canned products. The program also offers gently used clothing with donations made by the Center’s employees and other community residents.

With grant support from the Chicago Food Depository and Lutheran Family Services, the WellnessPantry provides an essential food resource for over 2,380 local residents each month since 2008. Other vital partners include the Chicago Botanic Garden who donates organically-grown fruits and vegetables from June through October as well as Panera Bread, Dominick’s, and the
St. Vincent DePaul Society. For more information, please contact community.relations@pilsenwellnesscenter.org
