Mission Statement
For more than 170 years, our mission has focused on combating hunger with compassion and dignity within the DuPage Township community. Recognizing that access to nutritious food is a fundamental element of the social determinants of health, our program is dedicated to fostering brighter futures and mitigating negative health effects linked to inadequate nutrition.
Description
At our food pantry, we uphold dignity in our operations and offer a choice-driven model to our patrons. As an evidence-based practice, our choice-directed services prioritize dignity, equity, and convenience, ensuring access to fresh produce, meat, and dairy. This method enables clients to select food according to their dietary requirements, reduces waste, and normalizes the experience, thereby helping to reduce the stigma of receiving food assistance. We aim to inspire ongoing generous support for our initiatives, allowing us to further our mission and make a positive difference in the lives of DuPage Township's vulnerable residents.
