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.
