Local Food Pantries

DCACC is helping address the need for pet basics such as pet food, pet treats and toys by holding a virtual food drive.  This food drive is "virtual" because we're asking you to help as you can by bringing pet food, pet treats and toys to your local neighborhood food pantry and helping those in need in your own town. A sample list of local food pantries accepting pet food donations is available for download here. A more detailed list of DuPage County food pantries is available via the DuPage County HELPER Resource Listing.

Please note:  Not all food pantries are large enough to accommodate pet food donations.  Please call ahead to confirm that your food pantry accepts pet food donations and to verify hours of drop-off.
