What is Food for Families? FFF is EIF’s annual 2 week community food and funds drive.This year, the drive will run from Oct 1 – 14.This will be the 26th year that local schools, businesses, grocery stores and organizations collect food and money for the Foodbank and help feed individuals and families in eastern Illinois. Last year, schools alone raised over $7,000 and more than 5,000 pounds of food—which is equivalent to 31,000 meals.
Every volunteer will receive a t-shirt and must come to an orientation. Volunteers must follow Department of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA) regulations which allow us to fundraise outside of the stadium. Learn at orientation what we can and can’t do. Volunteers will also receive more info on the EIF.
Your feedback can help us create better projects!
