Feeding Illinois is proud to launch the Grain for Good pilot program! In collaboration with Grainland Farmers, local farmers, and agricultural partners, we’re tackling food insecurity in our communities.

We’re reaching out to grain farmers in Woodford, Logan, LaSalle, Marshall, and Tazewell counties to donate a portion of their harvest. Donated bushels will provide ground pork from local hog farmers and meat processors to food banks serving each area.
