The Pilsen Food Pantry is the passion project of husband and wife duo, Dr. Evelyn Figueroa, and Dr. Alex Wu. The pantry operates in a former Catholic church and is open five days a week. Their focus is fresh produce but, clients can also get frozen meat, dairy, eggs, cereal, and even herbs and spices. The Pilsen Food Pantry distributes more than 8 tons of food each week, free of charge! Its patrons can also take advantage of a sliding-scale Thrift shop called the Clothes Closet located above the food pantry.
