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!  Drop off non-perishable, non-expired items at the church office Tuesday-Thursday from 8:30am-12:30pm.
