Northern Illinois Food Bank

Our vision is for everyone in Northern Illinois to have the food they need to thrive. A member of Feeding America, we serve our neighbors with dignity, equity and convenience, providing 250,000 meals a day. We bring together manufacturers, grocers, farmers, corporations, foundations, and individuals who donate food and funding, and each week 1,000 volunteers help us pack and distribute food. We partner with 900+ food pantries and feeding programs to provide nutritious food and resources in 13 counties. Based on 2019 we are rated as a 3-star charity (exceed or meet industry standards and perform as well as or better than most charities in the cause). This is due to our slowed meal growth prior to the COVID-19 pandemic when rapid growth distribution wasn't necessary. With the increased need we have increased meal distribution over 40% and hope to continue. In our Strategic Plan UNITE we strive to reach all our neighbors with new approaches and provide access to the food they need and want
