Ongoing Food Drive
Food insecurity is at record high numbers. Families in the surrounding neighborhoods are struggling to pay rent and put food on the table. People are having to choose between paying for basic utilities, medical care, prescriptions and food. Your donation to the Christ Church Food Pantry helps men, women & children of all ages find hope in the midst of hardship.

Want to Give Regularly?
Ongoing giving allows the food pantry to have a steady flow of provisions throughout the year instead of rationing during those times of abundance to prepare for times of lack. If you are called to give on an ongoing basis, donate through the following links:
The Christ Church Food Pantry Team partners with the Salvation Army Food Pantry to meet the nutritional, clothing and spiritual needs of people in the DuPage and Western Cook Counties.
Clothing: We are in need of men's summer clothing - sizes small, medium and large. No additional clothing is being accepted.
