Mission: 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.

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.

Northern Illinois Food Bank is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1982, and donations are tax-deductible.
