The Township Board of Trustees established the DuPage Township Food Pantry to supplement the nutritional needs of Township residents. The Food Pantry has grown from serving approximately 60 families a month to over 1,000 families a month. Most of the food in the pantry comes from the support of the Township, our partnership with Northern Illinois Food Bank, and collaborations with area superstores and grocers.

Food drives by schools, churches, civic groups, and businesses also help stock our shelves.

The Food Pantry is available to DuPage Township residents experiencing food insecurity. Residents may visit twice a month to receive supplemental items for planning meals.

Hours: Tuesday and Thursdays, 9 a.m.-2 p.m.; Saturdays 9-11 a.m.
