Most people don’t believe hunger is an issue in their own community. But 1 in 7 people in this region can’t afford groceries. So, where’s the disconnect? Our campaign for Northern IL Food Bank unveils the truth - the people you engage with every day are possibly struggling with hunger.

More than 2,000 families served at our Northern IL Food Bank Pop Ups yesterday. Freezing rain and winds didn’t stop us! Hats off to our team and our friends in Fox Lake and Glendale Heights! 💧❄️🧡 ❄️💧#TogetherWeAreSolvingHunger
