Food Pantry

The St. Joseph Food Pantry is located in the Formation Center and is operated by
volunteers. Food is donated and funds are used to purchase food from the Northern Illinois Food Bank. The food pantry serves Libertyville Township Residents and is open on Monday and Thursday from 11:30 till 1:00p.m. A breakfast, lunch and dinner bag is put together by the volunteers and distributed to the families at the pantry.

The pantry offers other support services such as referrals for other assistance. 
Volunteers staff our food pantry on a regular basis. More are always welcome and needed!  The pantry has bi-lingual volunteers, too.  Please contact Mary Causey, Director of Social Justice & Service at 847-990-1213 or mcausey@stjoseph-libertyville.org
