No, Fighting Illini Football offensive lineman Zy Crisler isn't four months late for our honky tonk Prom Benefit—he arrived to volunteer in sandals but remembered our closed-toe shoe policy! Thanks to Zy and all of our volunteers for helping us prioritize safety at EIF. ❌ sandals ✅ cowboy boots (...or whatever closed-toe shoes you have in your car!) Show off your shoes while you're helping us feed our neighbors by signing up to volunteer today! https://lnkd.in/g9zniDGV

At EIF, providing inclusive, nutritious options to local families is a priority. Thanks to Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc.'s generous donation of 864 gallons of lactose-free, family-size milk, more of our neighbors will have access to quality dairy! ❤️🥛

Due to year-end inventory, there will be no volunteering June 26 through June 28. Check out upcoming volunteer opportunities and subscribe to our volunteer newsletter at https://lnkd.in/gyJ85KWG!

Since 2022, the average number of neighbors served each month at our network of agency partners alone has increased by 90%. As many see their budgets strained, and grocery costs continue to rise, your support helps local families keep meals on the table. https://lnkd.in/gkbcU28B Thank you to our incredible agency partners for their dedication in feeding our communities! ❤️

It's Double Match Day! Today you can triple your contribution to help alleviate food insecurity in our community by grabbing a $10 #MeijerSimplyGive food donation card at the Urbana Meijer. Meijer will double match it with $20 for a total of $30 to feed our neighbors!

Thanks to a donation from ILLINOIS MILK PRODUCERS ASSOCIATION and Prairie Farms Dairy, Inc. Dairy in honor of National Dairy Month, more families will have access to whole, 2%, and lactose-free milk! ❤️🥛

This National Best Friend Day, we want to celebrate best friends who help their community together! In the last year, Matt and Darrin have donated 25 hours of their time repacking food at EIF together. In fact, Matt and Darrin do most things together, including attending park clean-ups or hanging out at Developmental Services Center parties. Matt loves the Bears and the Cubs, and Darrin can name every song on the radio. We ❤️ best friends who volunteer together! Have you brought a bestie to volunteer at EIF? Add a photo or story in the comments!

We're grateful that our Illini help us tackle hunger! Thank you to Fighting Illini Football linebacker Kenenna Odeluga for stopping by to help us pack food for this evening's Urbana Park District Play Day in the Park. 🧡💙
