The St. Joseph Food Pantry is an outreach by the St. Joseph Catholic Church to the local community. We offer a free bag of groceries each Wednesday to anyone who is in need. The pantry doors are open every Wednesday from 9am thru 11am for bag distribution. We serve approximately 100 families per week.
--------
The St. Joseph Food pantry is staffed by volunteers. Our volunteers perform the following tasks which make the pantry a success:
- Bag packing on Tuesday nights from 6pm till 7pm.
- Bag distribution on Wednesday mornings from 9am till 11am.
- Unloading the food truck from Bethlehem Center Food Bank on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, from 9am till 10:30am.
- Pickup of surplus bakery goods from Andresen's Bakery in Bensenville on Sundays (noon) and Wednesdays (6pm).

- If you are interested in volunteering for any of the above activities please contact: stjoes@catholic.org or call the church office at 630-279-6553.

- WE ESPECIALLY WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE ST. JOSEPH PARISHONERS WHO BRING IN FOOD DONATIONS TO CHURCH EACH SUNDAY. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP AND PRAYERS!
May the peace and love of Jesus be with you all!
