About Us

Collinsville Food pantry

The food pantry is available to Collinsville residents in need of food. Clients are able to “shop” for their groceries and choose what they need and will use. Daytime and evening hours are available for families in need. Special services are provided during holidays as well as emergency food boxes for crisis situations. This service helps those in crisis meeting certain criteria and still attempts to reinforce a self esteem of independence at the same time.

The pantry is located at 2009 Mall Street in Collinsville.
