Paula Nugent, President of the Board of the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry attend our meeting to receive the pledged funding that we promised to the pantry. $25,000.
The Rotary Club of Glen Ellyn will be honored by having the "Community Room" named for our club.
The needs of our community have outgrown the space available to the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry at Grace Lutheran Church, the Pantry's first and only home. To address the issues of food security in our community, the Pantry needs more space to sort, package and distribute food.
In 2019, we were gifted with a home parsonage owned by Faith Lutheran Church in Glen Ellyn, and we began a campaign to raise funds specifically to renovate it to meet our growing needs. By March 2021, we accomplished our goal of raising $900,000.
