The Addison Township Foundation was established in 2001 as a nonprofit to alleviate food insecurity for the Communities of Bensenville, Addison, Elk Grove, Elmhurst, Itasca, Lombard, Wood Dale, and Villa Park.

In conjunction with the Township of Addison, the ATF operates a food pantry which resembles a mini grocery store, to assist over 300 families and 2350 individuals every month.

The foundation actively works with local governmental entities, faith based organizations, nonprofits, local businesses, area residents, and volunteers to support the seniors, veterans, and families that visit the pantry.
