Ways to Give...

Make a difference and help nourish our community.  Food is a basic need we all share. 
No matter how different we may seem, we want the same things for ourselves and our loved ones:  to be safe, nourished, and given the opportunity to achieve our potential. 
​

Volunteer

Your time is valuable and you want to put it to good use. We love that about our volunteers! Why not invest in the important work of making sure our neighbors have the food they need to thrive? It’s easy, fun, and so important in our ability to get the work done. No matter your age or ability there is a task you can do.

We have Scouts, 4-H, FFA, school, church, and community organizations, and many individuals who volunteer their time and talents. Volunteer opportunities include stocking shelves, packing groceries, sorting donations, shopping, picking up donations, helping with monthly deliveries, and distributions.

Food Pick Up

We pick up food in DeKalb from the Northern Illinois Food Bank (NIFB) and bring it to Hinckley where it is unloaded and put on the shelves.

​1st Friday of the Month

7:00 a.m. We gather to unload a delivery of food from the NIFB and put the products onto the shelves in the pantry. 

Food Distribution
