NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOD BANK IS THE
MAY 12 COVID-19 AWARD RECIPIENT

NEXT MEETING SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 11 (BUT TBD BASED ON COVID-19)

NO CHECKS! NO PROBLEM!

​You can make your donations by credit card! Use our new online donation system for quick and easy credit card donations.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITH THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE GIVING?

When you donate $100 to a charity, you wonder if you're making a difference.  But when 100 people donate $100 at the same time, they raise $10,000 for  a worthy cause.  That's impact.  And it only takes an hour.

No volunteering, no telemarketing, no event planning, no silent auction donations to solicit.  Simply a great way to give back right in our own community.  Come join with us.

THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF:

  • You want to help those in need, but  cannot personally commit a lot of time or resources;
  • You want to increase the dollar impact of your own generous contribution by pooling it with others;
  • You want 100% of your donation to go directly to local charities.
And all you need to do is give $100 and one hour of your time four times a year.

MEMBERS CAN VIEW AND VOTE FROM ANYWHERE!

Members can view the three charity presentations as they are live-streamed on our FB page, and text their votes in real time.  Members never have to miss their chance to vote, even if they can't attend.  Look for specific details in the email a week before the meeting.

NORTHEN ILLINOIS FOOD BANK AWARDED OUR 
MAY 2020 DONATION

For the first time in our seven-year history, we could not gather together for our quarterly meeting due to COVID-19. Instead, the Steering Committee nominated three charities that were meeting the urgent local needs brought about from the COVID-19 virus,  emailed each member with information about these charities, and asked the members to vote via Survey Monkey. We had the largest vote tally ever! 

The Northern Illinois Food Bank provides food through a network of 800 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, youth & senior centers, and has a number of other direct distribution programs to assist hungry neighbors. Most of their COVID-19 activities revolve around increasing volume and distribution of food.

The two other nominated charities were Lake County COVID-19 Community Response Fund and Faith in Action.
