Together, We’re Solving Hunger — and There’s a Place Here for You!

At Northern Illinois Food Bank, we believe everyone deserves the food they need to thrive. As a proud member of Feeding America and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we serve neighbors across 13 counties with dignity, equity, and convenience — helping provide 250,000 meals every day.

This work is powered by community.

Food and funding flow in from generous manufacturers, local and corporate grocers, area farmers, businesses, foundations, and individuals. And each week, nearly 1,000 volunteers roll up their sleeves to sort, repack, and distribute groceries that will land on kitchen tables across Northern Illinois.

We don’t do this work alone. We’re honored to partner with more than 900 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and youth and senior programs who help ensure nutritious food and helpful resources reach neighbors where they are.

When you volunteer here, you’re not just lending a hand — you’re becoming part of a powerful, compassionate network working together to end hunger in our communities.

Our Mission

To provide nutritious food and resources for our neighbors with dignity, equity, and convenience through partnerships and innovation.

Our Vision

For everyone in Northern Illinois to have the food they need to thrive.
