What a night! 🍂🎉 Thank you to everyone who made Harvest Fest 2026 so special! 🧡
A big thank-you to our Board of Directors for the time, hard work, and care they put into this year’s event. We’re grateful for everything they do for Neighborhood Food Pantries and the neighbors we serve. 👏

We were also delighted to celebrate our two Servant Award recipients, David Wroth and The Bags For Life Foundation! Thank you both for your dedication and support. It was wonderful to recognize you with our community cheering you on! 🏆✨

To our sponsors, donors, volunteers, guests, and everyone who bid from home: thank you!

Your generosity helps keep nutritious food available for families across our six pantries. 🥕🍎 We’re grateful for everyone who gives their time, shares what they can, and shows up for our community.

Enjoy a few moments from the evening! 📸✨

Can’t wait to see you all next year on October 23, 2027!

Community partnerships help us meet our neighbors where they are—and this recent mobile pantry in Bensenville was a wonderful example of that work in action!

While the Consulate General of Guatemala provided essential consular services, including passports, birth certificates, and civil registration, Neighborhood Food Pantries was there to provide nutritious food and connect families with additional community resources.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Bensenville community library, the Consulate General of Guatemala, and all the community and government organizations that helped make this event possible. Your partnership and support made a meaningful difference for local families.

A special thank-you to our Operations Supervisor, Axel, for organizing the event, and to Terese, Liz, Carla and our board member Dr. David DeRamos for the hard work and care they put into making it a success.

We’re also grateful for our Executive Director, Laura Beard, whose hands-on leadership was on full display. Laura doesn’t simply lead from the top—she works alongside her staff to help turn great ideas into impactful events for our community.

More events like this are coming! We look forward to continuing to bring food, resources, and support directly to the communities we serve.

We’re proud to celebrate National Food Bank Day alongside our valued partners at FNBC Bank & Trust!

FNBC continues to show what community partnership looks like through its generous support of Neighborhood Food Pantries and its commitment to our neighbors. We’re especially grateful for Steve Beles—pictured here—who not only serves the community through FNBC but also generously shares his time and leadership as a member of NFP’s Board of Directors.

Thank you to Steve, Nancy Perillo, and the entire FNBC team for helping us ensure local families have access to the food and resources they need. Together, we’re building stronger, more caring communities!
