Spring Grocery Stock Up Event for Veterans and Their Families

North Chicago’s Midwest Veterans Closet in partnership with Northern Illinois Food Bank, is hosting a Spring Grocery Stock Up event for veterans on Friday, March 20, 2026, from Noon to 1:30 p.m. at Midwest Veterans Closet 1720 Green Bay Road. To participate in this grocery stock up event, you MUST have military, veteran, or dependent identification.

This is a “drive-up and go” event.  Volunteers will load your vehicle for you. Northern Illinois Food Bank’s Mobile Pantry is free to neighbors in need.  Food is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis-while supplies last.

If you do not have enough to eat, Northern Illinois Food Bank’s Mobile Pantry can help.

Thank you, Mary Carmody, —a hero in our community—for everything you do to support our veterans!
