Help Us Build a Stronger, Healthier Community

Every box of diapers, every bag of groceries, every utility bill paid starts with someone like you.

Join the active group of donors and volunteers who make it possible for us to stock our pantry, diaper bank, clothes closet, and ensure that people in our community can meet the challenges of rising utility costs.

The power of generous donors combined with volunteers who ensure we’re properly staffed has helped us build and grow our services. We need your continued support.

Kind Words for The Outreach House

The Outreach House is the “best” pantry I have found in the Lombard area. It is sooooo nice to be welcomed by name, not just another number! Everyone gets the opportunity to “shop” for everything from breads, cereals and sweets, fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, as well as milk, eggs, and many other refrigerated items. There are also weekly choices of frozen meats. Huge *thanks* to everyone who works at or with The Outreach House!!
