Living Waters supports the Crystal Lake Food Pantry and the Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Interfaith Food Pantry.
Serving at the food pantries during the COVID-19 pandemic
Procedures are in place to protect workers and clients. As of this writing, volunteers inside fill bags with specified items, including fresh produce. Workers stationed outside help clients with parking and pickup. These changes have increased the need for volunteers, including teens home from school. These procedures are under review for Phase 4 of the reopening, so if you have concerns, please check with the pantry where you are serving.
