Nurture with Love, Serve with Hope

BETHANY LUTHERAN CHURCH

For over four decades, the Open Pantry at Bethany Lutheran Church has provided food, hygiene items and hope to more than 800 Lemont families.  We can’t continue to do it without you!  Put non-perishable items in the Giving Basket when you come to worship or drop off items at the church office Tuesday-Thursday from 8:30am-12:30pm.
