A message from the Supervisor of West Deerfield Township:

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO OUR WONDERFUL LOCAL COMMUNITY

download (2)The outpouring of concern and assistance following the plumbing mishaps that occurred January 28th is so appreciated. As you may know, the subsequent damage decimated our food pantry and forced our office to relocate our programs and services to the Deerfield Village Hall. We also thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work together to ensure that the highest standard for community health and safety is achieved before we reopen.

We anticipate that the offices will reopen by March 1st and the food pantry shortly thereafter. Until that time, we are continuing to provide Township services. These services include transportation download (2)service, casework, processing general and emergency assistance, and voter services.

We cannot begin to describe how touched we are by the average download (3)citizens who offered their support, from the sweet preschoolers who shared their allowances to the seniors who have brought cases of food necessities to our temporary offsite food pantry at the First Presbyterian Church of Deerfield at 824 Waukegan Road.

If you want to take part in one of the many community food drives, please contact Food Pantry Board Member Janice Winter at 847-945-0614.
