Thanks for a great year, IFH!
Our final statistics for the 2023-2024 school year are in:
- 24,000 meals packed
- 2,125 lbs of rice packed
- 285.5 hours spent volunteering
This success could not have been possible without our dedicated team of volunteers and the Wesley Food Pantry’s support! We hope to see lots of familiar faces in the 2024-2025 school year.
Follow us on Instagram @illinifightinghunger to stay updated on important details (which will be released closer to the start of the school year).
IFH wins FreeRice College March Madness 2024
Illini Fighting Hunger has won the 2024 college World Food Program (WFP) FreeRice March Madness tournament!
IFH competed against teams from around the world. These included Ohio State, University of Missouri, UFWH Netherlands, Sinclair College, University of Cincinnati, Mount St. Joseph, and Auburn University.
Members answered trivia questions to earn rice for the WFP. Each correct answer raises the cash equivalent of 10 grains. Generated donations are matched by private sponsors to support the WFP’s mission to fight global hunger.
We would like to thank our dedicated members who helped us bring home the champion title!
