Schaumburg, IL – Schaumburg Township is urging residents to prepare for a delay in SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits this November, as township officials warn that families may experience temporary gaps in food support.
According to the township’s announcement Friday, residents in need can schedule appointments at the Schaumburg Township Food Pantry by calling 847-285-4503. Walk-ins are also welcome for non-perishable emergency items, ensuring that “no one will leave our building hungry,” the post states.
The township pantry operates Monday through Friday with varying hours, including evening availability on Thursdays (11 a.m.–5 p.m.) and Fridays (10 a.m.–3 p.m.). Officials also shared a list of nearby food pantries across South Barrington, Hanover Park, Rolling Meadows, and Mt. Prospect, encouraging residents to verify hours before visiting.
Neighboring pantries include Willow Creek Food Pantry, Trinity Charities, Hands of Hope, and Harvest Bible Chapel Hope Center, among others. Each location offers unique schedules ranging from weekday mornings to weekend distributions.
Residents are encouraged to contact individual pantries directly or visit chicagosfoodbank.org and feedingillinois.org for a complete list of food resources across Cook County and the northwest suburbs.
