When it comes to tackling hunger in Illinois, we are all on the same team!

15 Illini linemen are leading the efforts to alleviate food insecurity as part of the Name, Image, and Likeness program. From October 2 through October 16, students are encouraged to bring in non-perishable items as part of a competitive food drive.

A virtual food drive is also available as a quick and easy way to make a big impact in our community. Visit the link below and add "food" into your cart to achieve the donation amount you'd like to give. In the checkout process, be sure to select Illini Fighting Hunger in the dropdown.

At any given time, more than 100,000 people in eastern Illinois are experiencing food insecurity. Fighting hunger takes a team approach, and every $1 donated to Eastern Illinois Foodbank can help feed one of our neighbors for an entire day!
