Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry

The mission of the Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry is to help end local hunger by ensuring that everyone has enough nourishing food, thereby helping our overall community to stay healthy and productive.

The Pantry has been serving Aurora and the surrounding communities since 1981 when a group of local churches reached out to community leaders to establish a food pantry.  In response, the Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry was formed.

The Pantry assists individuals and families in need with emergency food and nutritional assistance in a humanitarian and compassionate manner.

Those who receive food from the Pantry include:

• the unemployed
• families and single parents caring for children
• seniors on fixed incomes
• persons with disabilities or chronic illness
• employed individuals who need a supplement
• victims of violence and emergency situations
• anyone who cannot afford to purchase enough food to adequately meet their nutritional needs

The Pantry's Food Distribution Program takes place on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
