Who We Are, How We Serve
The Cuba Township Food Pantry provides local residents in need with an opportunity to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, and bakery products for free. The monetary, food and household products donated by local residents, businesses, and organizations are made to the Cuba Cares Fund, a 501c3. Monetary funds are used for Cuba Cares to purchase grocery gift cards for monthly distribution to recipients, as well as purchasing staples including eggs, milk, and butter each week.
The Cuba Cares Fund partners with local grocers, the Northern Illinois Food Bank, and the Diaper Bank Partnership of Lake County for products.
The Food Pantry is overseen by a Township Food Pantry Coordinator and run primarily by a dozen dedicated volunteers that sort products, determine weekly distributions and assist residents with their weekly shopping.
