The current coronavirus crisis in our country is impacting many families who are unexpectedly unemployed due to the sudden closure of companies, restaurants and schools. Food Banks in Illinois are experiencing a more than 50 percent increase in food insecurity rates due to coronavirus economic interruptions.

Please join Nicor Gas in feeding our hungry neighbors!

Did you know half a million people rely on food provided by Northern Illinois Food Bank each year?

You can help me put food on their plates by donating to my Virtual Food Drive. The funds we raise together stay right here, in our backyard, and will provide nutritious food like fresh produce, protein, and milk to our hungry neighbors.

Every $1 donated helps provide $8 worth of groceries, so every gift can make a big impact.  Here are some other ways Northern Illinois Food Bank puts your dollars to work to solve hunger in Northern Illinois:  

• $20 helps provide a monthly food box to a senior who is unable to visit a food pantry.
• $30 helps provide $240 worth of groceries to a family in need.
• $60 a month helps provide a food-filled backpack to feed three children every weekend of the school year.

Support my efforts with a donation that will build hope for a family in our community!  If you would prefer to donate by mail, please let me know so I can send you the offline form to include with your check.Every donation makes a difference.

Together, we can solve hunger.
