Food Pantry

At the Lutheran Church of the Cross Food Pantry in Des Plaines, IL, we are dedicated to providing emergency food assistance to those in need within our community. Our mission is to deliver a wide variety of nutritious foods that address the core nutritional needs of our recipients, while also fostering a warm and welcoming environment that promotes emotional and spiritual support. We understand that hunger affects not only the body but also the mind and spirit, and we strive to uplift every individual who walks through our doors. Our pantry operates weekly, allowing visitors to collect food every other Tuesday, ensuring that no one in our community has to face hunger alone. Together, we are committed to nourishing lives and building a stronger, healthier community.
