DONATE TO THE PANTRY TO WIN A BOTTLE (OR TWO) OF BLANTON'S BOURBON
Every $10 donation to the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry is an entry into a drawing to win a bottle of hard-to-find Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon. If you donate $50 or more and your ticket is drawn, you'll win TWO bottles of Blanton's Bourbon. Our celebrity ticket puller is none other than Chicago Blackhawks legend and current NBC Sports color analyst Patrick Sharp! To honor Patrick Sharp, the event will start on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, and run through April 2.
To participate, click on the "Donate Now" button in the upper right corner, type in the $10 increment corresponding to how many tickets you’d like, and choose "Raffle 2023" in the Donation Campaign drop down. Chances of winning are determined by the number of entries. Winner will be notified the week after the raffle concludes and a video showing Patrick Sharp pulling the ticket will be posted on the Pantry’s Facebook page.

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.
