Community Corner
Dine Out for Hunger Sept. 5 - 13
From September 5-13, thirty-five area restaurants are joining together to raise awareness of hunger. Each restaurant will donate 10 percent of customers’ bills to Northern Illinois Food Bank when the customer presents a Dine Out For Hunger flyer. A list of participating restaurants and needed flyer can be downloaded at www.SolveHungerToday.org/HAM.
“Dine Out For Hunger is a fun way to help our efforts to solve hunger in northern Illinois,” said Pete Schaefer, president and CEO, Northern Illinois Food Bank. “We are delighted to have such a great representation of restaurants supporting the cause and offering the community this unique way to show they care about those who don’t have enough to eat.”
Dine Out for Hunger kicks off a month of activities for Hunger Action Month, a national campaign aimed at bringing the hunger issue to light in communities across the nation. Northern Illinois Food Bank provides food to more than 60,000 people each week through a network of 700 feeding programs in 13 counties.
