Whether you’re cheering on the Patriots, Seahawks, Bad Bunny – or just watching for the commercials – we need your brown paper bags! We use them to transport groceries during food distribution.

Drop off your brown paper bags at 4341 Saratoga Avenue on the north side of the building any time. Thank you!

🥶We’re proud to serve our community during extremely cold weather. It’s all possible thanks to our amazing, devoted all-volunteer team!

Wind chills are forecasted to range between -25°F and -32°F during food distribution on Friday morning.

If you’re planning to visit:

💚Be respectful, kind, and patient. Many other local pantries will be closed on Friday and through the weekend. A smaller crew of volunteers will be coordinating food distribution and fulfilling orders.

💚No appointments are needed. If you need food Friday, we are here for you.

💚If you can, avoid walking or biking. Schedule a PACE bus pickup or carpool instead. Frostbite can happen within minutes.

💚Dress warmly. Wear loose fitting layers, hat, gloves, and a face mask or scarf. Our client waiting area is indoors.

💚Prepare your car. Make sure your car has enough gas. Bring blankets, water, or food in case your vehicle does not start in our parking lot.

If you have any questions, please DM us or email us at [email protected]. Find local warming centers at 211dupage.gov/

🎉Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we be inspired by their generosity!

Prairie Path 100+ Women Who Care is simple: Amazing local women meet up every quarter vote on a charitable organization. Each woman donates $100 toward the winner.

We’re honored to be their Q4 recipient. Your support will fund wholesale purchases of milk, eggs, and fresh produce for hundreds of families. Thank you!

A special shoutout to our volunteer Chris Bard for nominating us! 💛

At our 1-year November meeting Downers Grove Fish

To our clients, our volunteers, and our many local and industry partners — Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so grateful for how our community has stepped up to address food insecurity in DuPage County in this season of uncertainty and challenge.

Together, we can continue to fight hunger not just around the holidays but every day.
