The Common Pantry is the oldest continuously run food pantry in Chicago.
Established in 1967, the pantry started out in Lincoln Park. It's now located in the Epiphany United Church of Christ in North Center. Food and personal items distributed through the center come from the Chicago Food Depository. However, food drives in the community also generate donations for those in need of food and supplies.
The Commony Pantry also provides social service referrals and home delivery for disabled clients.
