ABOUT OUR MOBILE PANTRY

Our mobile pantry currently visits several locations each month, which are listed above along with the scheduled distribution dates. Diapers are only distributed on those dates and at those locations. Families can visit any location once a month for diapers. 

​

Online registration (completion of the Diaper Pantry Form below) is required 24 hours prior to your first visit to our pantry. Identification and documentation is also required for the parent/guardian/child(ren). Please refer to the "What To Know Before You Go" section below about program requirements and other important information.

​

Individuals and families can opt-in for text message reminders for the mobile pantry distribution dates and other important program updates by texting "DIAPERS" to 833-635-0634. Standard message and data rates may apply. Opting in for text messages does not register you for the diaper program.

​

We reserve the right to cancel any distribution date or close the mobile pantry early due to weather conditions and/or any other reasons. We also reserve the right to limit the quantities of diapers, period kits, and other supplies so that we can serve as many people as equitably as possible.

ABOUT OUR MOBILE PANTRY

Our mobile pantry provides free disposable diapers and period supplies to families who are struggling to afford them. Diapers are provided for children up to age 3. Pull-ups are provided for children up to age 4. We also provide incontinence products for older youth, adults, seniors and individuals with special needs. The mobile pantry currently visits 6 locations (Gurnee, Waukegan, Grayslake, Round Lake Park, Highwood, Kenosha) and is a drive-thru model, so people can remain in their cars. Families can visit 2 locations each month for diapers, but cannot visit 2 sites in the same week. There must be 7 days between visits.

The distribution schedule for the year is listed above. Online registration (completion of the intake form below) 24 hours prior to your first visit and parent/guardian/child documentation is required. Please refer to the section below about requirements and other important program information, including registration forms in English and Spanish. Distribution dates, times, locations, and any service updates will be posted above. Individuals/families can also opt-in for text reminders for the mobile pantry distribution dates and other important program information by texting "DIAPERS" to 833-635-0634. Standard message and data rates may apply. Opting in for text messages does not register you for the diaper program.  

We reserve the right to cancel any distribution date or close the mobile pantry early due to weather/other reasons. We also reserve the right to limit the quantities of diapers, period kits, and other supplies so that we can serve as many families as equitably as possible.
