An excellent assistance opportunity arrives this coming week to alleviate household expenses for thousands of families residing in Illinois. From July 13 to 16, different community organizations and local pantries will deliver free food to all interested parties. If you live in a city in the aforementioned state, I invite you to read this note so that you know the hours and available pantries.

Usually, this initiative aims to help those most in need or those who lack economic resources. So, providing these free nutritious products allows them to save or invest their money in other goals.
For the indicated dates, interested parties can receive perishable and non-perishable products, such as cereals, proteins, fruits, vegetables, dairy products and canned goods. There is also the possibility that some points deliver hot meals.
The ideal is that you go to these pantries before the appointed time, since a large presence of people is possible to access this benefit. As a preventive measure, carry some identification with you to prove that you reside in Illinois.

Is it possible to visit the same pantry more than once a month?
Due to high demand and limited inventory, some pantries limit the frequency of assistance to beneficiaries. However, families have the option of going to multiple food banks to meet their requirements.
You should know that this process is carried out under strict confidentiality criteria, since the participating organizations do not exchange the data of their users.
