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.

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.
