Making Hunger History
The Glen House Food Pantry provides essential groceries and support to people at risk of hunger through a collaboration of local churches and the broader community.
The Pantry is dedicated to “making hunger history” for neighbors who live, work, or go to school in DuPage County. In 2024, the Pantry distributed 870,000 pounds of groceries, including fresh produce, meat, dairy, baked goods and paper products, to nearly 8,500+ individuals, 38% of whom were children. The Pantry was founded in 1979, has a Platinum rating on Candid (formerly GuideStar), and is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.
