Northfield<br />
Township kicks<br />
hunger to the curb<br />
The Northfield Township<br />
Food Pantry believes that<br />
hunger is unacceptable in<br />
the community. For more<br />
than 45 years, the Northfield<br />
Township Food Pantry has<br />
been providing assistance<br />
to residents of Glenview,<br />
Northbrook and Northfield<br />
who are unable to provide<br />
enough food for themselves<br />
and their families.<br />
Food insecurity is a very<br />
real problem facing many<br />
township neighbors and<br />
their children, and it is not<br />
a seasonal issue. Residents<br />
who are struggling to provide<br />
enough food for their<br />
families in the winter will<br />
likely face those same<br />
struggles during the summertime.<br />
Today, more than 1,700<br />
township residents are<br />
able to visit the pantry<br />
each month to select perishable<br />
and nonperishable<br />
food items that best meet<br />
their families’ needs and<br />
to receive grocery store<br />
gift cards. The Northfield<br />
Township Food Pantry is<br />
truly a community pantry,<br />
entirely dependent on contributions<br />
for everything it<br />
distributes.<br />
No tax dollars are used<br />
to supply the pantry.<br />
Thanks to the generosity<br />
of financial and food donors<br />
and a dedicated corps<br />
of volunteers, the pantry<br />
provides essential support<br />
to residents who are experiencing<br />
hard times.<br />
The pantry’s annual fundraiser,<br />
Pantry Palooza,<br />
will immediately follow<br />
Glenview’s Summerfest<br />
on June 30 in the downtown<br />
Glenview Metra<br />
parking lot from 5:30-<br />
10:30 p.m. Headliner<br />
97Nine will provide live<br />
music, Pizano’s Pizza<br />
& Pasta and RioBamba<br />
food trucks will be selling<br />
foods, and drinks will be<br />
available for purchase. For<br />
just $10 per person at the<br />
door, guests can have a fun<br />
evening out while helping<br />
the community.<br />
The pantry is located<br />
at 2550 Waukegan Road,<br />
Suite 100 in Glenview and<br />
is open for donations from<br />
8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday,<br />
Tuesday, Wednesday<br />
and Friday and 8:30 a.m.-7<br />
p.m. Thursdays.<br />
