Thank You!
Libertyville Township would like to express our gratitude for the overwhelming support the community has demonstrated for those in need. Throughout the year and especially around the holidays, the Township receives food and monetary donations from civic groups, churches, clubs, school groups, businesses and individuals to help families who are struggling. This incredible generosity allows the Township to provide support to those families through the food pantry and with financial assistance when needed. On behalf of Libertyville Township and the volunteers who support our efforts, thank you for your ongoing support and concern for your neighbors. It is an honor to serve on your behalf.

Our food pantry is located in our office at 359 Merrill Court in Libertyville our phone number is 847-816-6800. The pantry is open on Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Check Your Home for Radon Gas Levels This Winter
Homeowners are urged to test radon levels in their homes and apartments during the winter months, when indoor radon levels are at their highest.
Radon is an odorless and colorless gas that naturally occurs in rock and soil and can seep into homes from the soil through cracks in the basement floors and foundations, crawl spaces, poorly sealed sump pumps, porous cinder block walls and other foundation floor and wall penetrations.

Safety Tip: Don’t Crowd the Plow
Every year we ask drivers to remember to stay back when approaching a snow plow. This is for your safety, and the safety of our snow plow drivers. When visibility is low, and roads are potentially slippery, it is crucial to SLOW DOWN and STAY BACK!
