In the western suburbs, food insecurity is skyrocketing. “We have seen a dramatic increase in the last year,” said Sarah Corbin, the head of communications for the West Suburban Community Pantry. “We served 1 million more pounds of food last year than the year before.” The West Suburban Community Pantry in Woodridge is seeing hundreds of new guests, and many of them are new to the country. “About half speak a language other than English,” Corbin added.
