From the NIFB:  Our Northern Illinois community is made up of neighbors who are there for each other. Sometimes neighbors need help. Sometimes neighbors have help to give. We are all neighbors, working to create a thriving community in Northern Illinois.

Thank you for making our community stronger! Based on your generous giving this past fiscal year (July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024), Northern IL Food Bank is pleased to let you know that Christmas Sharing is part of Northern Illinois Food Bank’s Circle of Hope Society.

The Circle of Hope Society is one way NIFB can recognize Christmas Sharing as one of our most invested neighbors. As a Circle of Hope member, Christmas Sharing is recognized in the Food Bank’s online Fiscal Year 2025 Annual Report and on our Donor Wall at the West Suburban Center in Geneva. Contributors are be listed in ranges of gift amounts for donations made between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025.

In fiscal year 2025 your generous support helped:
• Provide 93.5 million meals to neighbors in need
• Serve an average of 571,000 neighbors each month
• Supported Mobile Market distributions bringing food to convenient locations for neighbors
• Meet the increased demand for food caused by higher prices
