DONATE

While the Hope Food Pantry seeks donations of specific items, monetary donations continue to be the best way to help the food pantry effort.  As a member of the Northern Illinois Food Bank and its purchasing power, donations to Hope Food Pantry stretch a little further. Several employers in the area are matching or even doubling donations. Please check with your employers to see if this is available! Copies of the IRS 501(3)C Determination Letter are available for "Hope Food Distribution Services, NFP" if needed.

Visit www.thehopefoodpantry.org to donate online.  

VOLUNTEER

There are many ways to volunteer at HFDS. Volunteers are needed on Friday afternoons to pack bags, Saturday mornings to staff the food pantry, and during the week to help with donation pick ups from our retail partners. Small groups are welcome.

GARDENS FOR HOPE

We invite you to plant an extra pot or row of veggies at home.  Produce is collected at St Lawrence and offered to guests of the Hope Food Panty.  All vegetables and herbs are appreciated.  If you’re looking for ideas; cherry tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, kale, chard, zucchini, green beans, cucumbers, parsley, and cilantro are easy to grow and produce a lot of great food.
