Food Pantry Network Heart of Illinois

Food Pantry Network Heart of Illinois (HOI) is a partnership of local pantries, food banks, community volunteers and organizations that work together to alleviate hunger and build a healthier community.

The mission of the Food Pantry Network is to support, connect and provide resources to those working within the emergency food system.

Food Pantry Network HOI was created to bring those working in emergency food together. We hope to connect pantries, volunteers and community members with helpful resources for pantries. Our network works primarily with organizations in Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, Mason and Fulton Counties, and we strive to help support each other in feeding our communities, improving health, connecting pantries, and sharing resources.

Objectives

• Procuring and aligning food resources within the emergency food system
• Connecting organizations working in emergency food to resources and information
• Addressing needs, gaps and challenges in the emergency food system
