Please join me in the fight against hunger in our community!  

Did you know that Northern Illinois Food Bank provides food and other essential items to more than half a million people every year? That’s why I’ve committed myself to raise funds that will help provide for these precious families by participating in this year’s Foodie 5K fun run/walk. Last year’s event was a rewarding experience and great success. Thanks to everyone's support the Food Bank was able to provide the equivalent of $1.8 million worth of groceries for families in need. This year the goal is $2 million worth of groceries!

Please join me in making a difference in the lives of the thousands of people in Northern Illinois who are hungry. The funds I raise will stay right here, in our backyard, and will fill an empty plate of a hungry neighbor.  

Did you know that every $1 donated helps provide $8 worth of groceries?  

$20 helps provides a monthly food box to a senior who is unable to visit a food pantry.

$30 helps provide $240 of groceries to a family in need.

$60 helps provide food-filled backpacks to six hungry children with enough food for the entire weekend

Please join me at the Foodie 5K or support my efforts with a donation that will build hope for a family in our community! Every donation makes a difference.  

 

Thanks in advance!

Help me honor Connie by decreasing food insecurity in Northern Illinois

My daughter Liz, my grandchildren and son-in-law Ryan, and I will be walking the Food 5K as "Connie's Squad for Social Change" with donations going to Northern Illinois Food Bank. Connie and I volunteered for Potluck in the Park in Portland, and I feel like walking this first walk after her passing will honor the good deeds and compassion that Connie symbolizes and embodied. There is a MATCHING CHALLENGE going on right now - which doubles donations through Apr 21. Thank you for supporting this important cause in our human community.
