Cook County Commissioner Scott Britton's Visit
Cook County Commissioner Scott Britton recently visited the Kingswood Church pantry on a Thursday morning in April 2026 to learn more about our ministry in order to share information with his constituents. Kingswood staff and the Food Pantry volunteers gave Commissioner Britton a tour of the Food Pantry, Thrift Store, and Medical Lending Closet housed in "Manna House" along with a first hand look at the Food Pantry in action.
Witness by Carl Ellis, Food Pantry volunteer
The Kingswood Food Pantry team would like to express our gratitude for the outpouring of support we received in response to our year end outreach.
Thanks to the very generous food and financial donations, the pantry shelves are well stocked and we are starting the year in a financially sound position. Just a few years ago, as we were coming out of COVID, the food pantry was struggling to keep the ministry going. Thanks to all the donors, food drive sponsors, our wonderful volunteers and all who helped make it possible to continue to serve our neighbors in need in 2026.
