What’s An Online
Food Pantry?

Online food pantries are consumer-facing organizations that help ensure people in need get groceries and other household items. Whether it’s for pick-up or delivery, those in need count on food pantries to give them peace of mind knowing where their next meal will come from.

Do I Qualify For
Free Groceries?

We understand how tough it can be meeting all your basic needs and decide how to spend money on a tight budget. That’s why eligibility is based on self-identified needs and not restricted based on income, residency, SNAP eligibility, or other criteria.

Proof In Numbers

MPX started with four sites and is now helping families in nearly 20 sites across Northern Illinois. In 2021, MPX received over 33,000 orders. In 2023, we received over 70,000 orders!

4 Reasons to Choose MPX For Free Groceries
