Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

WITH THE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY, WE PROVIDE OVER 80 MILLION MEALS ANNUALLY THROUGH OUR NETWORK OF OVER 900 MEMBER FOOD PANTRIES AND PROGRAMS ACROSS THIRTEEN COUNTIES, CURRENTLY REACHING OVER A HALF MILLION INDIVIDUALS EACH MONTH WITH INCREASED ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND RESOURCES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND RESOURCES FOR OUR NEIGHBORS, WITH DIGNITY, EQUITY AND CONVENIENCE, THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND INNOVATION.

  • LIKE MOST ORGANIZATIONS WE'VE FACED MANY CHALLENGES THIS PAST YEAR. FROM INFLATION AND RISING FOOD PRICES TO SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES AND GREAT ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY. BUT THROUGH IT ALL, OUR TEAM AT THE FOOD BANK HAS FOCUSED ON EVOLVING, ADAPTING AND GROWING TO BETTER SERVE OUR COMMUNITY BY LIVING OUT OUR STRATEGIC PLAN UNITE. WE'RE EMPOWERING OUR NEIGHBORS EXPERIENCING FOOD INSECURITY BY DESIGNING WITH THEM FOR BETTER CHOICE, BETTER ACCESS AND LESS STIGMA. FOR YEARS IT'S BEEN IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE FOOD CHOICES TO OUR NEIGHBORS, ALLOWING THEM THE DIGNITY TO SHOP FOR THEIR GROCERIES AS WE ALL DO. NOW, AS WE THINK ABOUT CHOICE AND EMPOWERMENT, WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE CHOICE IN HOW NEIGHBORS MIGHT ACCESS FOOD AS WELL. THROUGH OUR SPECTRUM OF PROGRAMS, NEIGHBORS CAN CHOOSE TO SHOP AT A PANTRY, DRIVE THROUGH PICK UP AT A PANTRY OR MOBILE MARKET, ORDER ONLINE FOR PICK-UP OR DELIVERY AND CALL, TEXT OR CHAT ONLINE WITH OUR TEAM FOR HELP WITH SNAP BENEFITS.WE'RE EVOLVING THE FOOD BANK, BECOMING STRONGER AND MORE ADAPTABLE WHILE GROWING COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND AWARENESS OF FOOD INSECURITY THROUGHOUT OUR 13 COUNTIES. THIS YEAR WE WELCOMED 17,000 UNIQUE VOLUNTEERS WHO DONATED AN INCREDIBLE 130,000 HOURS OF THEIR TIME. WE RAISED $30M IN CONTRIBUTED REVENUE FROM OUR MANY GENEROUS DONORS TO FURTHER OUR MISSION. WE MOVED OUR DISTRIBUTION CENTER FROM PARK CITY TO A LARGER FACILITY IN LAKE FOREST TO BETTER SERVE OUR NEIGHBORS, MEMBER AGENCIES AND ACCOMMODATE MORE VOLUNTEERS.WE'RE EMBRACING DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION IN A DEEPER WAY IN ALL OUR WORK. WE'RE ADDRESSING INEQUALITIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND RAISING AWARENESS OF THE DISPROPORTIONATE RATE OF FOOD INSECURITY ON HOUSEHOLDS OF COLOR. THIS YEAR WE LAUNCHED AN INTERNAL DEI COMMITTEE AND A BOARD DEI COMMITTEE. WE FORMALIZED A DEI STATEMENT TO HELP GUIDE OUR STRATEGIES AND OFFERED MONTHLY TRAININGS. TO FURTHER INCREASE DIVERSITY WITHIN OUR STAKEHOLDER GROUPS WE SURVEYED OUR LEADERSHIP VOLUNTEER COMMITTEES AND SET GOALS AROUND PROACTIVE OUTREACH TO ENGAGE UNDERREPRESENTED DEMOGRAPHICS. WE CONTINUE TO ADD DIVERSE AND DESIRED FOODS TO OUR SHOPPING LIST AND MAKE DECISIONS AROUND WHICH FOODS TO DISTRIBUTE AT MOBILE MARKETS BASED ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. WE'RE ENGAGING OUR NETWORK TO INCREASE ACCESS TO FOOD AND ADVANCE NEIGHBOR-CENTRIC PRACTICES WITH OUR 900 AGENCIES AND FEEDING PROGRAMS. THE FOOD BANK SERVED AN AVERAGE OF 375K NEIGHBORS EACH MONTH, BUT WE DIDN'T DO THIS ALONE. IT WAS ACCOMPLISHED TOGETHER, THROUGH THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION OF OUR NETWORK OF FOOD PANTRIES, SOUP KITCHENS, AND MOBILE MARKET SITES. OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH CHILD AND SENIOR PROGRAMS ALSO PROVIDED 1.9M MEALS. WORKING TOGETHER WE'RE IMPROVING THE EXPERIENCE FOR OUR NEIGHBORS SEEKING HELP BY CREATING MORE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, OFFERING TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, AND PROVIDING $1.2M IN CAPACITY BUILDING GRANTS. AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO THIS NEXT YEAR, WE KNOW THE CHALLENGES ARE REAL. BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO INNOVATE AND ADVOCATE TO HELP EVERYONE IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS HAVE ACCESS TO THE FOOD THEY NEED TO THRIVE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
