Genesis Mission - Milton Township Food Pantry - June 19, 2008

The Milton Township Food Pantry serves 500 people a month.  They get the majority of their food from the Northern Illinois Food Bank.  This food is supplemented by donations from the community.  The food pantry also needs personal items such as toilet paper, bar soap, and diapers as these items cannot be purchased with food stamps.  The shipment of food from the Northern Illinois Food Bank costs $2000 per month and is purchased with donated funds.  It is received on the third Thursday of each month; and volunteers are needed starting at 9:15 a.m. to take the food inside, unpack it, and put on the shelves.  For more information call Patrick Ryan at 630-668-1616.
