UPDATE: August 4, 2020

As the State of Illinois remains in Phase 4 of Restore Illinois, many government offices, businesses and organizations have opened or expanded their services.  Please know that groups have opened at different levels in order to ensure the safety of their staff and patrons.

Northfield Township and the Northfield Township Food Pantry are assisting residents via phone and email only.  Staff and food pantry volunteers are the only personnel entering the building.

If you need assistance, please call 847-724-8300.

Please continue to follow Illinois Department of Public Health requirements for Phase 4, which include:

• Keep 6 feet from others.
• Wear face coverings at work, when shopping and in other public areas.
• Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds frequently. If you don’t have access to soap and water, use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Thank you for your patience.

The health and safety of our clients, volunteers and staff remain our top priorities. We are following all required prevention guidelines including wearing masks/face coverings, gloves and social distancing.  We have changed to an outdoor food pick up system for our clients.  Staff members and volunteers are routinely disinfecting all surfaces in high traffic areas and shopping carts.

Please continue to take recommended precautions (cdc.gov) including social isolation if you’re experiencing any symptoms of illness.

As our needs change we will continue to share updates.

We have been overwhelmed by the tremendous outpouring of support for the pantry and for our neighbors in need from our entire community during this challenging time. It is heartwarming to know that all of us share the belief that Hunger is Unacceptable in Our Community.
