Help Us Feed Our Neighbors

Nov 6, 2024

Each year, our food pantry relies on donations of food items from our community. On average, our pantry serves 434 families a month—a 19% increase from the previous year. Just like many others, we’re struggling with rising food costs. The Salvation Army is seeking businesses and organizations to help us by hosting a food barrel at their location. If you're interested, we would love to partner with you. Please email Shan Johnson or call 815-972-1135.

Most Needed Items:

  • Pasta and Pasta Sauce
  • Canned Vegetables and Beans
  • Canned fruits
  • Peanut Butter and Jelly
  • Canned Soups
  • Canned Tuna
  • Cake and Pancake Mixes

Below you will find a list of participating organizations in our community. Please stop by one of these location during the listed dates to make a donation.
