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,
(especially as the holidays get closer).
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. They are especially in
need of diapers. Cereal, peanut butter and jelly are also popular items that
families appreciate. If you can, please help those that are in need. For
