Northern Illinois Food Bank needs your help to feed more hungry neighbors and provide the 75 million meals needed to ensure everyone in our community has access to nutritious food. We encourage you to get involved in the way you feel most comfortable – and then share your support of the Food Bank with family, friends and colleagues. Together we can solve hunger!
More than 80% of the food distributed by the Food Bank is donated from retailers, manufactures, farmers and community food drives.
Every $1 donated can provide $8 worth of food to hungry neighbors. Financial support is vital to operate our direct distribution programs, like the BackPack Program and Mobile Pantry, and provide nutritious food through our network of feeding programs.
