Stickney-Forest View Lions Food Pantry
If anyone has been looking for our Stickney-Forest View Lions Club Food Pantry, it is still located at the Forest View Village Hall. It has just been moved to the north end of the second floor. We invite the community to help keep this much needed resource stocked with non-perishable food items and hygiene products. If you should notice the pantry needs restocking, please email us at sfvlions@gmail.com. Thank you again to the Village of Forest View for hosting our pantry.
