$700K federal grant allows aurorapantry to introduce new Mobile Meal program
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin visited the pantry Wednesday to discuss the funding he helped secure in the 2023 omnibus appropriations bill. The pantry will use the money to start a new Mobile Meals Program that will provide services for food-insecure residents in the five counties they serve.
Last year the pantry served 126,000 residents across DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Will, and DeKalb counties. Their total operating budget was $1.2 million for 2022. The pantry will construct a commercial kitchen and outfit a food truck to bring meals directly to people in their communities, especially those who may not have the ability to cook foods offered at the pantry, such as the elderly, homeless and people with disabilities.
