Who we are

Hands of Hope is a community-centered food pantry dedicated to making a difference in the lives of individuals and families across the greater north, west, and northwest suburbs of Chicago. Partnering with Evangel Church and utilizing their facilities, we operate as an independent organization with a shared mission of compassion and service.

We believe that every person deserves access to nutritious food while being treated with dignity, respect, and care. Through partnerships with local grocery stores, bakeries, and food banks, we provide high-quality, name-brand food items that reflect the care we have for those we serve.

Our work goes beyond food distribution—we offer hope. Hands of Hope exists to create a welcoming environment where neighbors in need can find essential resources, encouragement, and support. Whether through the dedication of our volunteers or the generosity of our donors and partners, we are committed to addressing food insecurity and fostering a brighter future for our community.

Together, we can continue building stronger, healthier communities, one family at a time.
