About the Northfield Township Food Pantry

The Northfield Township Food Pantry was founded over 50 years ago to assist Township residents struggling with food insecurity. Today, many hundreds of Township families are eligible to visit the Pantry. The Pantry is sustained entirely by residents, civic organizations, schools, businesses, and the faith community who generously donate food items, grocery store cards, and cash.
