Three Million Meals!

Posted on by

On Sunday, April 15th we celebrated a very important milestone that was our three millionth meal packed. To commemorate this exciting milestone we hosted a celebration at Wesley United Methodist Church where we honored all the hard work done by our team and the lives we’ve undoubtedly impacted.

Congratulations, Bill Million, on 1,000,000 meals facilitated! That’s 1/3 of Illini Fighting Hunger’s 3,000,000 meals facilitated!

 

This organization started in 2012 and it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come. Over the past 6 years, we have facilitated over 41,000 service hours from more than 24,000 volunteers. If you or someone you know is looking to get involved please let us know and join the fight against food insecurity. To three million more!
