The Glen House Food Pantry provides essential groceries and support to people at risk of hunger through a collaboration of local churches and the broader community.

The pantry’s services are available to neighbors who live, work, or attend school in DuPage County. In 2025, the pantry distributed nearly one million pounds of groceries to more than 9,500 neighbors, a 9 percent increase over 2024. Half of those served were children.

Located at 55 N. Park Blvd., Glen Ellyn, the pantry was founded in 1979 and is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, funded through grants and donations. For more information visit www.GlenHousePantry.org or call 630-469-8668.
