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.

Lisle Township’s Food Pantry entrance is located on the east side of the Supervisor’s office, located at 4711 Indiana Avenue in Lisle.

Vegetables harvested from the Food Pantry’s organic garden are available in season.
