Woodman's Food Drive: Click Here 
Employees of Woodman’s Market at 1 Stratford Dr. in Bloomingdale have once again chosen the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry as the beneficiary of its holiday Check Out Hunger campaign. Donations are collected from customers during their checkout process from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, 2022. At the end of the campaign, donations are converted into Woodman's gift cards ($4,000 last year!) that the Pantry uses to purchase needed grocery products. If you haven’t shopped at Woodman’s yet, the holidays are a great time to check out this super-sized grocery store that also has a gas station. Woodman's Markets was founded in 1919 in Janesville Wisconsin and has grown to a $2 Billion company with locations all over Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

OUR MISSION
To provide essential groceries and support to our neighbors at risk of hunger through a collaboration of local churches and the broader community.
VISION: An engaged community where the nutritional needs of all our neighbors are met.
AT A GLANCE
In 1979, a youth group at Grace Lutheran Church in Glen Ellyn put their faith into action to help their neighbors at risk of hunger. That spirit inspired the mission of the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry and, more than 40 years later, the need for our services is greater than ever.
Today, the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry ..Read More
