Any last-minute cancelations will be counted as a NO SHOW. Any actual no-shows and you will not be allowed to join us at a volunteer event in the future. Thanks for your continuous support, understanding, and help!

We will assist with evaluating, sorting, labeling, and packing food items. This is manual labor and will require standing and lifting.

Northern Illinois Food Bank - a proud member of​ Feeding America​ - is the source of nutritious food, innovative feeding programs, and hope for more than half a million people each year. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a goal of solving hunger in our 13-county service area, we rely on our generous donors, volunteers, and community partners - the local food pantries and feeding programs, food manufacturers and retailers, companies, foundations and individuals who join with us in our vision for no one to be hungry in Northern Illinois.
