The food pantry is available to 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.
Our dedicated board members have the task of steering our organization to best serve our community. They willfully supply the foresight, oversight, and insight in guiding the Collinsville Food Pantry's mission of
"Offering hope and a helping hand up to those in need."
