Now Open

The Spartan Food Pantry is open every other Wednesday from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM at the school district warehouse located at 520 N. Maple Street, Sycamore, IL. The food pantry is open to families of Sycamore School District students only and Photo ID is required. We are a choice pantry, meaning families can choose what they would like, how much they would like, and can omit certain items.

SUPPORT OUR PANTRY

Cash Donations

The Spartan Food Pantry is supported by the generous donations of Sycamore CUSD #427 teachers and staff, community sponsors, and individuals. Through the Illinois Food Bank, your monetary donations are amplified to provide even more food at lower costs.

Meeting a need

“People need food year-round. Hunger and the need for food doesn’t stop when school isn’t in session. The food pantry will help empower students and families within the district. They won’t be hungry, they’ll have nutritious and delicious foods.”

Our district’s mission this year is #Empowering2Succeed. The Spartan Food Pantry is a way to carry out that mission so that our students can be successful not only in education and learning, but also throughout their life.
