Help us stock our shelves this summer.

Summer should be fun.

For too many families in our community, summer vacation just means summer stress. Instead of enjoying school-free hours, kids are going hungry: They depend on free food from the school cafeteria, and their stomachs are feeling the absence of regular meals

Would you make a donation to our food pantry this summer?

Give the gift of a carefree childhood.

Food for Greater Elgin is a guest-choice food pantry that exists to fight food insecurity. We are one of the largest food pantries in our 13-county service area, serving over 200,000 people annually. When you give to Food for Greater Elgin, you give so much more than food. You give a worried single mother a safe space to shop for her family. You give an anxious dad relief from the stress of facing an empty cupboard. You give the gift of a carefree childhood.

We don’t think anyone should go to bed hungry.
