Seigle Foundation recently announced the total award of $40,000 in grants to two food security organizations, Food for Greater Elgin and Northern Illinois Food Bank.
The Northern Illinois Food Bank will hold special volunteer shifts in Geneva, Joliet, Rockford and Lake Forest for National Day of Service on Sept. 11.
This September, Northern Illinois Food Bank, the leading hunger relief organization serving 13 counties in rural and suburban Northern Illinois and member of the Feeding America Network, will recognize Hunger Action Month with several initiatives to educate the public about the issue of hunger and ways to get involved.
The Northern Illinois Food Bank s north suburban distribution in Lake County relocated and expanded a year ago to meet a demand for food that has not subsided.
