Keep the donations coming, and thank you to all who've donated so far!
Our van, the FISH Tank, will be in downtown Downers Grove until 2 p.m.!
Our community showed up in a big way last year, and right now, our neighbors need us more than ever.
FISH Food Pantry supplies are critically low. With rising food costs and changes to SNAP benefits, many local families are no longer using the pantry just as an emergency safety net—they are relying on it for their primary monthly groceries. Local pantries are absorbing a dramatic increase in walk-in traffic, making neighborhood food drives and individual donations essential to keeping everyday staples on the shelves.
Let’s make this year’s drive our biggest yet! Join us for the DGTDO 2nd Annual Food Drive to support FISH Pantry:
📅 Date: Saturday, September 26th
⏰ Time: 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
📍 Location: DGTDO Office, 908 Curtiss St., Downers Grove
Other Ways to Give:
Weekday Drop-Offs: Can't make it Saturday? You can drop off pantry items at the DGTDO office anytime during regular business hours throughout the week.
Donate Online: Prefer to give virtually? Click the FISH Pantry link in our bio to make a direct financial contribution so they can purchase items in bulk.
Most In-Need Items:
Pantry Staples: Canned vegetables, canned soup, pasta & pasta sauce, brown rice, plain oatmeal, cereal, pasta/rice sides, and SPAM
Baking & Condiments: Corn muffin mix, cake mix & frosting, ketchup, mustard, salt, sugar, and flour
Household & Personal Care: Paper towels, toilet paper, bars of soap, diapers, and wipes
Sweet Treats: Jell-O and pudding mix
Every single can, box, and dollar makes an immediate difference for a family right here in our community. Thank you for continuing to show up for our neighbors!
