Food Support and Assistance
OUR MISSION
Meals in the Meantime is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing food support and assistance. Our mission is filling the food gap in Chicagoland south suburbs with nourishment and dignity. We help seniors, single women and men, families, young adults, and children.
FOOD PANTRY
We provide food at pop-up food pantries by partnering with local townships, villages, and faith-based organizations. We help people who need food directly in communities where they live. The core of our work is putting free, fresh, healthy, high-quality food directly in the hands of people in need.

Food with no judgement
We have no bias or stereotypes about people experiencing food scarcity. Food insecurity is a condition, not a condemnation. We are changing the condition by providing food for people in need with no judgement.
