The Westchester Food Pantry is located at 1938 South Mannheim Road in Westchester and now serves over 440 households each month from the communities of Berkeley, Bellwood, Broadview, Hillside, Hines, La Grange Park, Westchester, and Western Springs. With the recent high inflation rates, the number of households served has increased by 75%. We are open twice a week for clients to receive fresh produce, frozen meat, canned goods, dairy products, bakery goods, and even pet food for their furry family members. Our pantry is 100% volunteer-run and relies on donations to meet our clients’ needs.

About the Westchester Food Pantry

The Westchester Food Pantry serves as a resource for those who are hungry and food insecure. Supported by the generous donations and work of our community - individuals, organizations, and businesses - we are able to supplement food needs in our village and seven neighboring communities. Our doors are open twice a week to help our neighbors in need. Through our Wet Nose Pantry, we are able to offer food and other supplies to our clients' pets so the whole family can stay together. The Westchester Food Pantry is 100% volunteer run and is entirely dependent on donations to keep our doors open.
