In Alton, Decatur, Effingham, Mattoon, Quincy and Springfield

Hunger hurts. It denies dignity, lessens human energy, erodes community stability, and damages the potential of a person to progress. America, long the land of plenty, now faces a crisis of hunger. An increasing number of people in our community are without food, some for the first time in their lives. For those of all ages who confront hunger, solutions must be found. Our food pantry staff help with immediate problems as well as search for solutions for the future.

Donations of food, time, and money are necessary for this program to carry out the agency's on-going response to hunger.
