In their own words

Northern Illinois Food Bank's Child Nutrition Program ensures that hunger is alleviated for children so that they can concentrate on the educational and recreational opportunities available to them in their local communities. The Food Bank partners with nearly 400 schools and youth sites and aims to provide over one million meals annually through cold suppers and snacks at after school and summer meal programs and through weekend backpacks filled with shelf-stable food for children to take home with them each week.
