State Representative Amy Grant (R-Wheaton) is urging residents to donate to their local food pantries. Many food pantries across Illinois face challenges in attracting donations during the summer months, despite a persistent need.

"DuPage families having stable access to food is a top priority of mine," stated Rep. Grant. "I encourage everyone to work with their families and neighbors to find some extra nonperishable food items and donate them to your local pantry for those in need."

Last month, Representative Grant and her intern team delivered a round of food donations to the Milton Township Food Pantry, which serves approximately 700 individuals per month.
