A huge THANK YOU to everyone who volunteered for the 2018 Community & Campus Day of Service!!! We came together to package over 151,000 meals for the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, Midwest Mission Distribution Center, and many other organizations fighting hunger in our community. This would not have been possible without everyone’s time and effort, and the support of our many sponsors and donors who provided ingredients, funding, and other resources for the event. Thank you for your participation — as a result of your efforts, families in need in our local community will benefit.

This event bumped Illini Fighting Hunger over the 3,000,000 (yes, MILLION!) meal mark! Over the past 6 years, we have facilitated over 41,000 service hours from more than 24,000 volunteers.

Thank you to all those in our community who came out to lend their support to this event — we couldn’t have done it without you!
