The D300 Food Pantry provides food assistance to families of School District 300. Our only eligibility requirement is that you live within School District 300 boundaries and that you have at least one child within your household age 18 or younger. You may be asked to provide proof of address.
Regardless of where they live, we do also extend our services to School District 300 employees and staff, as well as Durham and Aramark employees that work for D300 schools, and students of Elgin Community College.
If you have any questions about eligibility, please contact our Registrar at registration@d300foodpantry.org. Already registered and have a Client ID number? You are ready to SHOP! Go to the Food Appointments page and schedule your next shopping appointment!
