One in seven people in the community is food insecure. Food for Greater Elgin, the largest client-choice food pantry in the service area of Elgin, South Elgin and East Dundee, provides stability and promotion of independence to more than 1,200 households every month.
Food for Greater Elgin strives to combat food insecurity by employing a holistic approach to fighting hunger. The clients have access to fresh, plentiful, nutritious food through five weekly client-choice food distributions and supportive programming designed to address the underlying root causes contributing to food insecurity.
Through an abundance of healthy food and collaborations with other organizations and businesses, they reach each month nearly 6,000 individuals; nearly half of whom are children.
