Central Illinois Foodbank received a $3,000 grant from The Darden Foundation to help provide hunger-relief to central and southern Illinois families. The funds will be used to procure approximately 12,000 pounds of fresh produce.  

Over the past 6 years, CHS-Shipman has donated more than $60,000 for Central Illinois Foodbank and other local agencies.

Today, Central Illinois Foodbank announced a $50,000 grant from the Caterpillar Foundation to provide food to more than 15,000 people who face hunger in Macon County.  A member of the Feeding America network, Central Illinois Foodbank is one of 30 food banks selected to receive this grant, which helps support local hunger relief efforts.

As food travels on its journey from the grocery store to someone’s plate, there are many people who help it reach its destination. Every meal has a story.
