- Description: Hands of Hope Food Pantry is a not-for-profit ministry of Evangel Church that serves families who are in need in Hanover Park and surrounding communities. It was founded on Nov. 1, 2000 when we opened the doors for the very first time to those in need. We started by distributing food to 6 families the first week. Since then, we have seen a great increase in the needs of the community as well as in our efforts to make a difference in people's lives. We now serve approximately 175 families on a weekly basis. We distribute nearly $1,000,000 worth of food a year. We have a strong partnership with the Northern Illinois Food Bank, local grocers, restaurants, and bakeries. Our clients have a chance to use shopping carts to select the foods made available to them. We strive to guard every person’s dignity and self-respect by giving them a shopping experience. We're glad to serve you! We can only give food to one person per household. Help us make sure we have enough groceries for everyone who needs them. Our hours are 4-7 PM on Tuesdays. When you arrive, please have one of the following with you as proof of residence: A driver's license or state issued I.D. card; A gas bill, electricity bill or water bill with your current address. Phone bills will not be accepted.
