Northern Illinois Food Bank

Naperville Presbyterian Church supports the Northern Illinois Food Bank (NIFB) fight against hunger by providing work crews one Saturday every other month. Activities include sorting, labeling, and packaging food at the St. Charles, Illinois location.  We also have an on-going collection of items.

Loaves & Fishes: The Deacons of NPC are grateful for the donations given to the local food bank and food pantries serving Naperville and surrounding communities. Gifts of non-perishable food are appreciated. Baby formula and disposable diapers are always in short supply, as well as personal toiletry items such as soap and shampoo (no mouthwash). All items should be unopened and new (check expiration dates). NO glass items: baby food, soups, etc. are accepted. Gifts can be brought to the church and deposited in the “basket" in the main lobby by the Information Table.

Our next workday will be Saturday, December 6. The Deacons of Naperville Presbyterian Church are looking for thirty or so individuals to join us at the Northern Illinois Food Bank (NIFB) from 8:45 am until 12:00 noon to help in the fight against hunger. Activities include food sorting, labeling and packaging. You must be 14 or older. Bring your smile and a willing attitude to help those less fortunate. NIFB is located at 600 Industrial Drive in St. Charles, only about 30 minutes from NPC. You may sign up at the table outside the Worship Center or online.  Please contact Jan Lutkevich or Nancy Weatherup with any questions you may have.
