  • The Northern Illinois Food Bank expects to serve more people this holiday season—more than during the pandemic—while facing a $3 to $4 million funding gap from a 25% rise in need due to delayed SNAP benefits and economic pressures; it serves 13 counties with food pantries, soup kitchens, and holiday meal programs and is reaching out to manufacturers, retailers, and donors for extra food as many residents still face food insecurity.  Shaw Local
