Read about the Foodbank's continued efforts to provide healthful foods for all!

Staff and volunteers at the Jacksonville Red Shield Market Community know what it means to provide access to and awareness of healthy food for all. Located at 331 Douglas Avenue in Jacksonville, the food pantry provides dry goods, produce, protein, and dairy in a grocery store-style setting.

In collaboration with our community partners, Central Illinois Foodbank is adopting a written nutrition policy which will help guide us and our 150+ partner agencies in our efforts to procure the most healthful food options possible.

Hunger can affect anyone, no matter where they live, but food insecurity is often more pronounced in rural areas due to the long distances required to travel to the nearest grocery store.
