The St. Joseph Food Pantry is a supermarket style food pantry located in the strip mall at 112 North Milwaukee Avenue in the Formation Center. Financial donations are used to buy food from the Northern Illinois Food Bank, as well as other local grocery stores. We also accept donations from the public. The Food Pantry is open to anyone who has an ID or Passport. You must wear a face mask that covers your nose and mouth at all times, and we allow 1 vist per week. Clients are required to get their temperature checked upon visting.
