The annual NALC "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive that was held on Saturday, May 9th was a huge success for the Illinois Valley Food Pantry! A whopping total of 3,302 pounds of food was collected for the pantry. A big heartfelt thank you to all of our local postal workers who collected the food items and assisted in this food drive! The pantry was busy receiving and sorting the food items that were collected. Thanks to several wonderful volunteers from O'Neal Steele, we were able to get through most of the receiving and sorting process of the donations on Saturday. Thank You O'Neal Steele volunteers!! 🥰🤗😃
The work continued on Monday, with pantry staff and volunteers finishing up the receiving and sorting process. A special THANKS goes out to our generous community for supporting this wonderful, much needed cause! 😍🥰🤗

WHAT A WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR!!!
With the government cutbacks, recent SNAP program issues and the holiday expenses, our community not only stepped up to help the Illinois Valley Food Pantry get through all of that, but you also still helped raise our thermometer for our building fund!!! We are almost at the halfway point of our goal of $750,000!!!
Let's keep seeing that mercury rising!!! 🤩😍🤗
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SUPPORT!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 🥰🥰🥰
