Are you looking for ways to help your local community members in need? The Food Pantry relies on community contributions to stock our shelves. Support from our community is critical now. No tax dollars are used to purchase food items. Any donation (big or small) is always appreciated!

Anticipated cuts to SNAP benefits could have a significant impact on families across Illinois, exacerbating food insecurity during a time when many are already struggling with rising costs. Loss of these benefits means many Lisle Township residents risk losing access to basic nutrition. Together, we can fight hunger!

We are always accepting donations of the following unexpired and unopened items: Applesauce, Canned or Fresh Meats, Canned or Fresh Vegetables/Fruits, Cooking Oils/Butter, Crackers, Dried Herbs and Spices, Instant Potatoes, Nuts, Pasta and Sauces, Rice, Soups, Formula, Personal Hygiene Items, Toilet Paper, Laundry Detergent, and Baby and Adult Diapers.

Cash and check donations are also accepted for bulk food purchases. Checks for monetary donations can be made out to “Lisle Township Foundation.” All donations can be dropped off at the Lisle Township Supervisor’s Office located at 4711 Indiana Avenue during regular hours, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Please check in with the receptionist when dropping off so your items can be promptly added to the Food Pantry inventory for distribution. If you have any questions, please call our office at (630) 968-2087.

Several federal tax incentives for eco-friendly home upgrades are set to expire. These incentives have been available for various energy-efficient improvements, including electric vehicle purchases, home energy systems, and clean energy installations. To ensure you don’t miss out on these valuable savings, it’s advisable to plan and complete any eligible upgrades before the end of 2025. Taking action now can help you maximize available incentives and make your home more energy efficient. The below table reflects the existing credits and timeline.

Voting is a fundamental right for all American citizens, but many politicians want to silence us by implementing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. This Act was passed in the House but can be stopped in the Senate.

This act would force every single American citizen to prove their citizenship status in person when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information. For the vast majority of Americans, this would mean presenting a passport or birth certificate at their local election office.
