Serving Our CommunityFISH of McHenry Food Pantry is an all volunteer service organization offering food assistance to both families and individual adults in need. Since the pandemic, we are not limiting service to certain areas and have no zip code restrictions at this time. Available are canned, boxed and dry foods, frozen and refrigerated foods, soaps, toiletries, paper products and other necessities. If you or someone you know is in need of help, please stop by to register during our regular hours.
No Appointment Necessary! Just Drive Up and Get in the Line of Cars! FISH of McHenry clients are allowed to receive food distributions once every 4 weeks. We are only serving outdoors in a drive up format. Clients remain in their cars and form a line. A volunteer provides a shopping list to each car of items that we try to continually keep in stock. (Printable versions of these forms are listed below.) Volunteers collect the lists and they get filled inside the pantry. Other items are generally available outside as additional choices. Please feel free to call the pantry if you have any further questions. How to Register to Receive Food Distributions: Currently, we are serving outdoors in a drive-up format with limited information taken at your car. Photo ID's or proof of address are not required at this time. 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. Please feel free to call the pantry if you have any questions regarding eligibility.

1. Name and Birthdate of 1 adult living in the household. 2. Address and number of members living in the household.
