Since 1969 Respond Now has provided food and other necessities to families and individuals all over the South Suburbs. Respond Now provides food to individuals and families in 30-day intervals as long as recipients can present Illinois state identification. In addition to food, the not-for-profit organization provides clothing transportation, personal hygiene items and temporary lodging. Respond Now also directs those in need to other organizations that can provide them with assistance such as CEDA.
Respond Now also has a food pantry at 21701 Torrence Avenue in Sauk Village that is open on Tuesdays from 10am - 2pm.
