The Village of Mount Prospect Food pantry is currently in need of donations. The food pantry is administered by the Human Services Department, which is located at 50 South Emerson Street. Their supply of food items has been depleted and they are currently in need of donations.

The food pantry supplies immediate grocery items for those residents who are in need of emergency food. In order to qualify for assistance, a social worker meets with the individual making the request and determines if they are eligible for assistance. The social worker is able to perform a thorough assessment. At the time, the social worker can also inform the individual if they are eligible for any other programs.

The food pantry accepts non-perishable food items (canned fruits and vegetables, rice, pasta, soup, etc.) and paper goods. If you can, please help those that are in need. For more information, call 847/870-5680.
