Food Pantry
Catholic social teaching has long held that Christians are responsible to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for the sick. Our Lady of the Holy Family seeks to do as Christ would have us by working with the Greater Chicago Food Depository to provide our community with food.
On average, our parish food pantry serves between 150-200 families/members of the community per week.
