Lisle Township Food Pantry

The Lisle Township Food Pantry supports residents in the Township who do not have access to enough food for themselves or their families. No one should go hungry in our community.

The pantry is operated by a group of dedicated volunteers and staff, led by Food Pantry Director, Judy Svienty.  The Lisle Township Food Pantry is grateful for partnerships with the Northern Illinois Food Bank, area businesses, civic groups, and individuals who donate their time, food, and money. To learn more about volunteering, contact Judy at (630) 349-0326.

Food Pantry Distribution Information and Requirements

Clients can check in during Pantry hours and shop for themselves from our frozen goods and shelves of non-perishable products.  We typically have a variety of pastas, grains, canned vegetables, beans, and other canned, bagged, and dry goods.

Those in need of food may visit the Pantry one time each week.

The Food Pantry is open for regular distribution on:

Mondays:  12:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Wednesdays: 12:00 - 4:00 p.m.

Fridays: 12:00 - 4:00 p.m.

**We will also have tickets by the outside door starting at 10 a.m. on distribution days so that shoppers feel comfortable waiting in their cars or in our Board Room during inclement weather, instead of in line.**

You do not need to call ahead before shopping.
