Feeding Illinois collaborates with many community partners and organizations throughout Illinois to ensure that policies and funding priorities are in place that will help to feed hungry people in Illinois. Feeding Illinois also recognizes that hunger is a symptom of poverty and we support legislation and policies that work to end the cycle of poverty. Below are key state priorities of Feeding Illinois in 2010.
The Food for Families Program provides nutritious food to hungry families and individuals throughout the state of Illinois. The food provided through this program is more important than ever with food banks across the state experiencing a dramatic increase in the number of families and individuals requesting food assistance.

In order to align public and private entities around solutions to end hunger Feeding Illinois is advocating for the creation of a statewide Commission to End Hunger. The Commission will develop and update a two-year action plan that works toward the long-term goal of ending hunger in Illinois.
