After four decades of sharing space with a downtown church, the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry will welcome the sight of bare shelves sometime this fall.
The emptied cupboards will mean the pantry has packed up its operations for the move to its dream home, a new beginning three years in the making.
Pantry leaders say they're "exceptionally close" to meeting a $900,000 fundraising goal to turn a former church parsonage into its new headquarters.
