DuPage Township is currently awaiting the Village of Bolingbrook's approval to begin developing a new, fully equipped food pantry and resource center. The new community facility will offer DuPage Township families access to essential resources, including food, laundry, shower amenities, a resource and education center, and convenient parking. As families and residents of DuPage Township, we support the Township's proposed plan and appreciate their intentionality and care as they sought to provide a genuinely accessible and relevant service to residents in need.

Despite the valuable service this facility would provide to our community, a small but vocal minority is attempting to obstruct its progress. Their objections, often cloaked in concerns about traffic, are unfortunately rooted in stigmas and prejudices. We must come together as a community to ensure that all residents, regardless of their circumstances, have access to essential resources like food assistance.

The DuPage Township Food Pantry and Resource Center will be a lifeline for those in need, supporting individuals and families facing temporary or permanent challenges. By rallying behind this vital project, we can demonstrate our commitment to serving all community members and rejecting discrimination in any form. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that no one in our Township goes without essential support. Failing to approve this proposal would perpetuate barriers to access and deny current and future families in need the support required to survive and thrive. 

We Need Your Help! With DuPage Township awaiting approval from the Village of Bolingbrook, there's an urgent need for community action. Please sign this petition to voice your support for the development and proposed location of the new DuPage Township Food Pantry and Resource Center. 

The new facility isn't merely a luxury but a necessity for the well-being of our residents. It's time to prioritize the holistic needs of our residents and ensure that no one in DuPage Township goes without vital support. 

This petition is organized solely by DuPage Township Families for Education and Equity, a group of Township residents committed to advocating for sustainable, equitable resources and education that support our community members' holistic and diverse needs.
