CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (Chambana Today) — The Eastern Illinois Foodbank (EIF) is distributing groceries to area families facing food insecurity in an event sponsored by Christie Clinic later this month.
The event will be held on Saturday, November 22 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., or until food runs out at Christie Clinic located at 101 West University Avenue in Champaign.
The event will serve up to 200 households on a first-come, first-served basis, with distribution being drive-thru style. It is recommended to bring a cart or bags to those attending without a car.
EIF’s Foodmobile program is a system of mobile food pantries designed to help bring nutritious food to rural or underserved communities. The distribution is being sponsored by Christie Clinic as a way to distribute additional groceries to community members at a time of need.
