Illinois Valley Food Pantry: Serving the Illinois Valley since 1982

Welcome to the website of the Illinois Valley Food Pantry, located in La Salle, IL. For more information, click on the links in the navigation bar on the left. 

We have moved!

 

After 14 years in the same location in LaSalle, the pantry board decided it was time to move to a larger facility.  We moved in January to 122 Wright St., just 2 blocks west where the Educators of Beauty were located.  

 

Food Pickup Times:

Monday 9am-noon

Wednesday 3pm-6pm

Friday 9am-noon

The Easter Distribution will take place on Saturday, March 24th. Volunteers will be packing food for approximately 1,100 individuals, which is over 400 families needing food assistance. The pantry serves people living in LaSalle, Peru, Oglesby, Utica, Cedar Point, Tonica, Lostant, Leonore, and Lowell. Deliveries to home bound elderly people living in LaSalle, Peru, and Oglesby will be Monday, March 26th.

 

To be eligible for the food order, you must be registered with the food pantry and sign up by Wednesday, March 21st. 

 

Suggestions for donations are: instant potatoes, canned corn, baked beans, canned fruit (small can), corn muffin mix, cake mix, frosting, ham.
