Progams
and Services
Welcome to the web site
for Eastern Illinois Foodbank. We're glad you're interested
in finding out more about the Foodbank.
In this section, you'll
find descriptions of the Foodbank's various Program and
Services, including:
We want to share with you what takes place in our
40,000 square feet Warehouse located in Urbana, Illinois
and where 200 partner member agencies receive food
and groceries for the 25,000 people served each month.
Salvage
Learn how the Foodbank is able to salvage enormous
quantities and varieties of food, and how volunteers
help inspect, sort and repackage the food for distribution.
FoodMobile
The Foodbank's FoodMobile provides a wonderful way to serve
hundreds of people, typically as foods with a short shelf
life -- like breads and produce -- which are delivered directly
to the communities of eastern Illinois.
Nutrition
Education
We'd like to share with you various information about nutrition,
as Nutrition Education is an important aspect of our Mission.
We publish a variety of communication pieces for our partner
member agencies, as well as for our corporate, private gift
and community sponsors and for the general public - and
we'd be pleased to share these publications with you.
Food
For Families Annual Drive
For over 19 years, a group of citizens have joined with
the Foodbank to plan, organize and hold, in the fall, a
community-wide drive for food and for funds to help stock
the Foodbank's warehouse. We invite you to join with your
neighbors and help make this year's drive a huge success.
