Midwest Food Bank- Bloomington/ Normal

Thank you, American Marketing Association at Illinois State University, for helping package family size bags of crackers... just in time for soup season!

What a day! ⛳️☀️

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out for our Drive Out Hunger Golf Tournament last week. We’re so grateful to our golfers and sponsors for showing up, supporting our mission, and helping make this event such a success.

And let’s be honest, we all deserve a little extra credit for surviving that heat and humidity! 😂🥵

We’re thankful for each of you and the difference you’re helping make in our community. ❤️

Until next year, keep swinging!

Thank you Biaggi's, for being the October Serve & Savor Sponsor! Our distribution volunteers are going to love this simple gesture of kindness! Help is still needed next week! To sign up, visit our website at https://midwestfoodbank.org/locations/bloomington-normal/

🤔 Would You Rather Wednesday

Would you rather volunteer at a food distribution for 6 hours…
OR go 6 hours without knowing where your next meal is coming from?

For millions of households, food insecurity is a reality—not a “Would You Rather” question.

In 2024, 18.3 million U.S. households experienced food insecurity.

Your time can make a difference. ❤️ Consider serving at an upcoming food distribution and helping put food on the table for our neighbors.

What a joy it was to come together for the Million Meal Pack event! ❤️

A huge thank you to all of the Midwest Food Bank volunteers who gave their time and energy to help make this event possible. It was so much fun volunteering alongside our own volunteers and being part of something that will make a real difference in our community.

We’re also grateful to State Farm, Illinois State University, and U.S. Hunger for helping make this special event possible. Your partnership brought people together for a day of service and compassion.

Together, we’re celebrating that 1,000,000 people will be blessed with a warm meal. 🙏

Thank you to everyone who showed up, packed meals, served, and helped make this day special! We can't wait to give these meals out to our pantry partners at distribution starting on Thursday! 💙

📦 Adopt a Distribution Day & Make a Difference! ❤️

We are so thankful for the community groups and businesses who adopt a day of distribution and bring a team of volunteers to help load shopping carts and vehicles for our nonprofit agency partners.

Your team’s time makes a BIG impact! The food loaded by our volunteers helps food pantries, soup kitchens, and other nonprofit agencies feed their neighbors in need. 🥫❤️

👉 Could your organization adopt a distribution day on a quarterly or monthly basis? Bring your team together, roll up your sleeves, and see firsthand how your time helps put food on tables across our community!
