Help our food pantries meet the growing demand for food assistance

WHAT: While hunger is a year-round problem that never takes a break, the demand on our food pantries increases significantly during the holiday season - and more so now because of the suspension of SNAP benefits with the ongoing government shutdown.

Our area food pantries need help keeping their shelves stocked to ensure that nobody, and no family, goes hungry.

Please consider donating needed food items, or money with which local pantries and the Northern Illinois Food Bank can purchase food. You can find a complete list of county pantries on the Food Security and Nutrition page of the McHenry County Department of Health website.

FOR MORE INFORMATION: If you know people who want to help, or are themselves facing food insecurity, please forward them this communication.
