NORTHFIELD TOWNSHIP PANTRY

The Northfield Township Food Pantry provides assistance to residents of Glenview, Northbrook and Northfield who are unable to provide enough

food for themselves and their families.  The number of families turning to the Pantry for assistance has more than doubled since May 2008.  Currently,

over 465 local families are eligible to visit the Pantry each month to receive food and grocery store cards.

The Pantry relies entirely on donations from the community in order to provide this much-needed assistance.  No tax dollars are used to supply the Pantry.

How can you help?  Consider organizing a food drive, volunteer, support Pantry fundraisers, make a monetary donation or help raise awareness about the

Pantry and its services.

Donations can be dropped off Monday – Friday 8:30 am – 4:30 pm, Thursdays 8:30 am – 8:00 pm, and the first and second Saturdays 9 am – 12 pm

(through May).   Financial donations can be mail or made through the Pantry’s website.

The Northfield Township Food Pantry is located at 3801 West Lake Avenue, Glenview (on the northwest corner of Lake and Pfingsten across from

Glenbrook South High School).
