About us
Our vision at Northern Illinois Food Bank is for everyone in Northern Illinois to have the food they need to thrive. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and proud member of Feeding America, we serve our neighbors in 13 counties with dignity, equity and convenience, providing 250,000 meals a day. We bring together manufacturers, local and corporate grocers, area farmers, corporations, foundations, and individuals who donate food and funding, and each week nearly 1,000 volunteers help us evaluate, repack, and distribute food. We also proudly partner with more than 900 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and youth and senior feeding programs to provide nutritious food and resources. Our distribution centers are located in Geneva, Park City, Rockford and Joliet.

We love to see our agencies working towards a more inclusive and equitable opportunities and resources for our neighbors! During July, Disability Pride Month, Food For Greater Elgin purchased walkers to help pantry shoppers with mobility issues better navigate the pantry aisles. Along with Senior Only shopping times, FFGE gives us a great example of how small changes can create better resources and opportunities for the community. Great work team!
