Feed the community
The Ark Food Pantry, with two locations in Chicago and Northbrook, provides nutritious, kosher food, household products, and personal care items to help our community.
As prices for groceries and home goods rise, The Ark continues to provide clients with much-needed food, toiletries, paper goods, and specialty items. We depend on our community to help us keep the pantry fully stocked.
Launch a pantry collection drive now!
Our current most-needed items: Cous Cous, Pasta Sauce, Grape Juice, Size 6 Diapers, and Shampoo
Share the suggested collection list of general needs in the pantry, available to download and take to the grocery when shopping.
Invite a staff member from The Ark to speak with your community or group about the services and programs offered by The Ark (age-appropriate programs offered for pre-K through adults).
Create some friendly competition between various clubs, groups, neighbors, or between classrooms to see who can bring in the most of a certain item for your collection drive. Use social media, email and texts to spread the word.
What we take: food that is kosher, non-perishable, and has not expired, unused personal hygiene items, and household cleaning supplies. We are unable to accept clothing, furniture, or household appliances at this time.
Donate items conveniently through our Amazon Wishlist, or drop off at one of two Ark pantry locations:
