Donate Supplies
Help us surpass our supply drive goals by donating food, clothes, or other necessary supplies. Keep an eye out on our events page or follow us on social media to learn about upcoming supply drives and general calls for donations. Dropping off supplies outside of designated drop-off times may result in damaged or unusable donations. Contact donations@pilsenfoodpantry.com with questions.
Recycle!
Only about 10% of materials placed in Chicago’s recycling bins are appropriate for recycling so millions of pounds of good quality materials end up in landfills. To do our part, the Pilsen Food Pantry collects crushed aluminum cans. Our metal recycling is sold to a local shredder once a month to support or general operations. Community members can drop off cans any day.
Corporate Partnerships
We can accommodate volunteer groups of 6-50 adults in different areas of or facilities. Beyond volunteering, corporate partners can also contribute by hosting a supply drive, collecting recycling cans, renting our community space for events, or sponsoring one of our community events.
We also offer group retreats, anti-racism training, team building activities cooking classes for your team.
