On Saturday, October 9, 2021, during the dedication of our parking lot, Julie Yurko of the Northern Illinois Food
Bank presented FFGE with a grant of $95,000 to support our efforts to provide food to people in need. Specifically, this money will contribute to the purchase of a new truck.
NIFB has made a number of grants to food pantries in order to aid in their work, most under $25,000. In making the award, Yurko praised Food for Greater Elgin for its efforts to expand services through its delivery program and expansion of hours, and for reaching out to other pantries to offer aid in this time of overwhelming need.
Thank you, Northern Illinois Food Bank!
