Salvation Army Food Pantries Open Throughout Division

Mar 20, 2020

Updated 1/26/2021 -- The Salvation Army Metropolitan Division remains committed to Doing the Most Good for our neighbors in need throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Though many of our programs and worship services are suspended to keep our clients, staff, and volunteers safe, the food pantries at our individual corps community centers remain open to ensure our communities have the food and essentials they need. For the time being, to ensure the safety of our clients, our food pantries are drive-up only and clients will be given pre-packaged food. (You can also download this list to print.)

If you need financial or other assistance, call 773.205.3520 or visit your local corps community center.
