The volunteers of F.I.S.H. Food Pantry of Carpentersville (Friend, I Shall Help) would like to thank everyone who so generously donated to our pantry during the holiday season. We serve over 400 families each month and your donations helped make the holidays brighter for all these families.

The number of families seeking help has increased steadily since October; therefore, the need for nonperishable foods, baby products, and personal hygiene items (shampoo, toothpaste, etc.) as well as cash donations continues. Donations can be brought in between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. any Monday, Wednesday or Friday. People needing assistance in make a donation should call (847) 428-4357. Cash donations may be mailed to FISH Food Pantry at P.O. Box 102, Carpentersville, IL, 60110.
