Aurora to offer pop-up food pantry Monday
As food insecurity levels continue to rise because of the effects of COVID-19, Aurora is coming together to fill in the gap.
The city of Aurora will host its fifth communitywide Pop-Up Food Pantry beginning at 9 a.m. Monday, Oct. 12, at Phillips Park, 1000 Ray Moses Drive.
The drive-through food distribution will provide food to roughly 1,200 families, officials said.
Provided by the federal Coronavirus Food Assistance Program, the food distribution will include boxes of fresh and quality meat, dairy and produce.
The pop-up pantry is a partnership between the city of Aurora, the Northern Illinois Food Bank, the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry and the Quad County Urban League.
