Get Food
Who do we serve?
Loaves & Fishes serves residents of Naperville and
Naperville Township. DuPage County
residents
in need of food assistance are also eligible to
receive food distributions. To qualify
for
food
assistance, a household’s gross monthly income must be
within the guidelines
established by
the
Illinois Department of Human
Services income
guidelines
for their family
size.
All clients in these service areas are able to receive a Client
Choice food distribution once
every
two weeks (14 days). For information on additional food pantries

How to Register:
For all clients, both new and existing, we require TWO (2)
pieces of identification
each time you come to the Pantry:
1. A drivers license, state ID, passport, or a consular ID
card.
2. A current utility bill in your name or the name of
someone in your household,
OR, if you do not have a current utility bill, a lease in your
name.
Every time you come to Loaves & Fishes for a food distribution,
you must bring these documents. If you do not bring them, we can
only serve you the emergency food we have
on our emergency shelves. Please have your documents ready for
the check-in desk volunteer.
Children between the ages of 0 and 3 years old:
The first time you register a new child between the ages of 0
and 3 years old, you must
bring the child’s birth certificate, or a document from the
hospital that is used to apply
for the birth certificate, to qualify for the infant care
program that provides baby food,
formula, and diapers.
Proxy Forms:
If you are unable to come to the pantry to pick up food, another
person can pick up your food distribution on your behalf. That
person must bring
a completed proxy form along with your identification and
utility bill.
The proxy form is your authorizing signature.
A new proxy form is required every time a food pick up is
requested.
