Common Pantry is Chicago's longest-operating food pantry, founded in 1967.  It's Common Pantry's mission to meet the emergency needs of the local community by providing healthy food, kinship, and support to help overcome poverty-related challenges.  It's been an incredible, action packed year for Common Pantry and we couldn't have done it without the community's support.  Not only is Common Pantry helping 65% more people than before the pandemic, but we've also completed the rennovation of a new facilty which allows us to expand services. 

Common Pantry will celebrate its annual I AM Your Neighbor party at Artifact Events on Friday, October 13.  The community will unite at this event to raise much needed funds to support Common Pantry and the evening promises to be fun, entertaining, and engaging.

We need your help!  It takes a neighborhood to procure fantastic items for the Silent and Premium Auctions and donated auction items are essential to the success of the party.  As neighbors, Common Pantry volunteers and I Am Your Neighbor committee members, we would like to respectfully request your help.  Please consider making an in-kind donation of an item, experience or gift certificate.  Your efforts and donation are much needed and will make an enormous contribution towards supporting Common Pantry's mission and many services.

We look forward to celebrating the mission of Common Pantry on Friday, October 13.  Thank you very much for your commitment to the neighborhood and for considering your support of Common Pantry's I Am Your Neighbor party.  We look forward to hearing from you.  Thank you.
