Drive-through Food Pantry

MCJC members volunteering at the Woodstock drive-through food pantry.

The MCJC drive-thru food pantry team helped out on the October and November  drive-through food pantry distribution days.   MCJC members Muriel Pick, Linda Trachsler, Jonah Markowitz, and Tricia Atwater helped out on October 10, and MCJC members Muriel Pick, Linda Trachsler, Lizz & John Dewey, and Bruce Weiss helped out on November 7.   The MCJC volunteers worked alongside volunteers from St. Ann's Episcopal Church, Grace Lutheran Church, and Resurrection Catholic Church.   One hundred thirty-five families received boxes of food on October 10, and one hundred fifty-seven families received boxes of food on November 7.

The Woodstock drive-through food pantry is a joint venture between the McHenry County Faith Leaders Food Collaborative and the Northern Illinois Food Bank.   It is located in the parking lot across the street from Woodstock High School at 501 W. South Street in Woodstock, and is open every other Monday between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm.   If you would like to participate in this important community service project, please contact MCJC Social Action Community Service chairperson Bruce Weiss at 815-338-2721 or woodstockbruce@hotmail.com.
