The Woodstock Drive-Thru Food Pantry is a joint venture of the McHenry County Faith Leaders Collaborative and the Northern Illinois Food Bank.   The pantry is located in the parking lot directly across the street from Woodstock High School at 501 W. South Street, and is open every other Monday between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.  MCJC will also assist on June 13 (details to follow in our next Newsletter!)
