We thank the Rotary club for their generous donation!
Monetary donations help the Pantry purchase essential items that may be short on our shelves. Thank-you Rotary!
Individuals can Donate Items, Too
Although most of the food items are donated by local retailers or purchased from the Northern Illinois Food Bank, some donations are made by individuals. Especially for items that are in short supply. The retailers and the Food Bank donate their excess items, not necessarily what the Pantry needs that week. Ena Hennegan is an individual donor, shown bringing a box of goods for the Pantry.
What’s Needed Now
Donate to the Food Pantry
The Cary Grove Food Pantry is always in need of paper products, toiletries, laundry and cleaning supplies, baby food, diapers, canned foods, pasta, rice, healthy cereals and more.
Monetary contributions are greatly appreciated as 75% of our food is purchased at a significantly discounted rate. As such, one dollar spent by the CGFP at the Northern IL Food Bank goes a very long way.
Did You Know?
Only 25% of our inventory need is actually met through Food Drives and Food Donations!
As a result, monetary donations are essential to enable us to adequately stock our shelves to meet the food needs of families in the Cary-Grove community.
DONATE NOW
Thank You for Your Generosity!
If you are planning a drive, please call the pantry and leave a message with the details and contact information. Monetary donations can be sent to the address below:

We again want to thank all of our great friends that help us serve our communities and truly make our pantry one of the best.
Sincerely,
The Pantry Board
