kid’s pantry

The Kid’s Pantry is a nonprofit charity organization located at 400 E. Gregory Street in Mount Prospect that was founded 12 years ago by Jody Bechtold and Stephanie Johanson. The organization provides gently-used clothing, children’s equipment, and toys to families in need, operating on Wednesday evenings with a suggested $5 donation. The Kid’s Pantry serves as a vital community resource offering free children’s items to families experiencing financial hardship, sometimes serving as the only place families can access items for their children’s needs.
