Food and Hygiene Pantry

Because access to food is a critical need, EZRA operates a client-choice model food pantry that is accessible on a weekly basis to all clients. EZRA is part of the Greater Chicago Food Depository network, which, combined with Amazon wish list donations and food drives, allows us to keep our pantry stocked with healthy foods. Additionally, our hygiene pantry offers personal care and household items on a monthly basis.

The EZRA pantry has been very beneficial for me. All the food is great! But [the fact that I can get] toiletries [is] the best. No other pantries give me half the things I receive [at EZRA.] [I like that] all the [volunteers] take time with me.
