About us
West Suburban Community Pantry (WSCP) is dedicated to providing food for those facing food insecurity, educating the donor community about existing needs, and supporting advocacy efforts for the hungry. WSCP works hard to encourage volunteerism and the sharing of resources. The Community Pantry operates year round serving the residents of DuPage and Will County. The Community Pantry’s goal is for clients to receive at least 136 pounds of nutritionally-balanced food each month, including meat and dairy. Last year, WSCP distributed 1.3 million pounds of food and served 40,000 persons, one-third of whom were children. You can learn more about the Community Pantry at www.wcpinc.org or by joining our Facebook community at www.facebook.com/westsuburbancommunitypantry/.

Did you know that in addition to food, our most requested items include women’s hygiene products, baby diapers, and wipes? These everyday essentials can't be purchased with SNAP benefits and we are always looking for more donations for our neighbors. A heartfelt thank you to the National Charity League (NCL) of Naperville for their incredible donation of over two huge totes of feminine care products. 🙏✨ NCL, a wonderful group of mothers and daughters dedicated to community service and leadership, has been volunteering weekly at the pantry for many years. Your support makes a significant impact! Thank you, NCL Naperville! #CommunityLove #ThankYouNCL #WSCP
