Schaumburg, IL – Schaumburg Township is seeing a sharp increase in local food insecurity, prompting officials to triple the number of emergency food giveaways last week. Township leaders say calls for food pantry appointments continue to rise as more residents struggle to make ends meet.
According to Schaumburg Township, its Food Pantry now serves more than 1,300 households each month. Roughly one-third of those assisted are children, one-third are adults, and the remaining third are seniors. Staff members are working extended hours to meet growing demand and ensure that all residents have access to essential food supplies.
The township emphasized that food is available for anyone in need, regardless of age or circumstance. Officials are also calling on the community to help keep pantry shelves stocked as the number of requests continues to climb.
