Manhattan Food Pantry – Food Distribution Center

The Manhattan Food Pantry is a free food distribution center located at 115 Third Street in Manhattan, Illinois, serving the community with emergency food assistance. The pantry operates on the first and third Mondays of each month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and serves approximately 60 households monthly, with many residents being individuals with disabilities and single mothers. In 2023, the Manhattan Township improved the food pantry’s facilities with a new roof, LED lighting, and drive-thru service capabilities, allowing families to receive food without exiting their vehicles.
