No one should ever be hungry, and by coming together, we can work to ensure that no one is. The Mayor's Hunger Campaign is working to help those in need in Rockford through your support of the Greater Rockford Pantry Coalition.
The Greater Rockford Pantry Coalition (GRPC) is a collaborative team of nine local Rockford food pantries**. By joining forces, we share ideas, resources, and a mission to ensure that no one in our community goes without food or basic necessities. Together, we fight hunger in our 815 by providing nutritious emergency food, compassion, and respect to any and all community members in need.
Funds raised during the annual Mayor's Hunger Campaign are distributed equally among the participating partners of the GRPC. 95% of these funds are used to acquire food with the remainder used for infrastructure needed for services, such as refrigeration, storage, and carrying bags for guests. The 2024 campaign will launch May 14, 2024, and conclude with a celebration luncheon in the fall.
This year, The Mayor's Hunger Campaign is partnering with the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois (CFNIL) to collect and process donations. CFNIL is a registered 501c3; your donation supporting the MHC is fully tax deductible.
Please consider a gift of $24 (or more!) in support of the 2024 campaign!
