Today is ! 🧡

On June 7, 1982, Central Illinois Foodbank began with borrowed warehouse space, three staff members and 2,000 pounds of apple cobbler mix.

Today, more than four decades later, we reach 21 counties, distributing more than 10 million pounds of food each year through our network of more than 120 partners.

🧡 This , we’re celebrating how far we’ve come and the people who make our work possible every day.

Feeding America's CEO, Denis McDonough, stopped by Central Illinois Foodbank to learn more about the work we do. He toured the Foodbank and spent some time exploring Springfield, getting a closer look at the community we’re proud to serve.
