Welcome to the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry!
The Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, volunteer agency that is directed and operated by community and local church volunteers residing throughout the greater Fox Valley. We are also a member of the Northern Illinois Food Bank Cooperative. Those who visit and use our Food Pantry are our neighbors and friends: people with disabilities, seniors, low income families, and families who have lost their jobs.
The Batavia Food Pantry has been in operation for 30 years. This would not have been possible without the active support of the community volunteers and donors who so selflessly donated their time, effort, and money.

The web page for the Clothes Closet can be accessed here.
Board Meetings
Board Meetings are held monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm in the Pantry building (See Directions below). Interested Batavia residents are welcome to attend.
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!
Due to the increased needs of the clients, beginning in January 2012, the Food Pantry & the Clothes Closet will be open every Thursday evening. See hours below.
The additional hours have created more opportunities for volunteers. As always volunteers are critical to Food Pantry operations. To volunteer please call (630)879-3784 or send email to: volunteer@bataviafoodpantry.org.
