DePaul Community Health Centers (DCHC) will partner with Second Harvest Food Bank (SHFB) for their monthly, free drive-thru food pantry on Dec. 7. 

The event, which will take place at DCHC’s Carrollton Warehouse (located behind the Carrollton health center at 3201 Short Street), will begin at 9 a.m. The event will end once all food has been given away.

The DCHC/SHFB food pantry is usually held the second Friday of each month. The change in December is due to delivery scheduling changes by Second Harvest Food Bank. The food pantry is open to the public.
