What Is A Food Pantry?

Often used interchangeably, a food bank is not the same organization as a food pantry. Food banks like Northern Illinois Food Bank build a food supply by taking donations from food drives and partner organizations. As supplies are collected, they’re inventoried and distributed to organizations that provide food directly to families in need, like pop-up food pantries, homeless shelters, and soup kitchens.
