"Central Illinois Foodbank has made great strides growing forward with nutrition. Our mobile kitchen carts have provided hands-on education to our neighbors, with Illinois Extension and SIU School of Medicine cooking delicious and healthy recipes like banana berry ice cream, summer chili, and veggie pasta at community events."
"The Foodbank is actively working to give people the opportunity to make choices. From the fresh produce, dairy and protein the Foodbank secures and distributes, to the kitchen cart where local nutritionists demonstrate how to prepare items that we are giving out, to our newest initiative to provide cookware and utensils to youth and their families, we are always trying to put all of the puzzle pieces together to make meal planning and prep less stressful for individuals and families."
Check out the Foodbank's latest nutrition efforts in our fall 2023 edition of Off the Shelf.
"We are excited about what the future holds and are committed to ensuring that there is nutritious food on the tables of individuals and families... we are inspired and encouraged by the efforts of our communities - partners, volunteers, donors - those who choose to engage in making a difference in our communities."
