Illinois Partners in Hope is a 501(c)(3) non for profit located in New Lenox, IL (EIN: 45-4837546). We support dozens of food pantries and organizations located throughout Northern Illinois. Through our partnerships with larger food banks, and the generosity of our donors, we are able to provide a NO COST service to these food pantries and organizations. Our agency offers regular food donations and delivery options. Whether we are out delivering to a local church hosting a drive-thru giveaway event, or if we are making a weekly stop at a fixed pantry, we never charge for our services. Our goal is simple, we aim to decrease food insecurity within the communities we serve and to ensure that no person goes hungry. We feel very passionately about our goals and we have both short term and long-range plans in the works to revolutionize the way our community deals with these issues.As you can imagine, there can be some high operating costs associated with running a food bank. We need a larger warehouse with increased refrigeration, we can always use more employees, more equipment and more vehicles. Each year we continue to deliver more goods (12 million lbs in 2022) and serve more people (over 600,000 in 2022). The year to year increase continues to show how great the need really is, and motivated us to seek out ways to expand our mission and increase the number of families we can feed.
