Food Pantry in Illinois Valley establishes transition fund in partnership with SRCCF
The Illinois Valley Food Pantry is relocating to a new home at 4133 Progress Blvd., Peru, Illinois. The pantry's move is being financed by an endowed agency fund managed by the Starved Rock Country Community Foundation.
The former Hoover Manufacturing building will now serve as the new location for the Illinois Valley Food Pantry. This move is significant as the pantry aims to expand its services to better serve the community.
The endowed agency fund, created specifically for this purpose, is now open for donations. You can support the pantry's relocation and operational costs by visiting the Starved Rock Community Foundation's website (srccf.org/fund/Illinois-Valley-food-pantry) or by mailing a check to the Starved Rock Community Foundation at 116 W. Lafayette St., Suite 2, Ottawa, IL, 61350.
Online donations can also be made through the foundation's website or via Zeffy, ensuring your contribution goes directly towards the pantry's relocation and operational support.
The Illinois Valley Food Pantry serves an average of 750 families in La Salle County each month. The move to a more spacious location will undoubtedly help in meeting the growing demands of the community.
The Starved Rock Country Community Foundation, a local organisation, is involved in the financing of the Illinois Valley Food Pantry's move. By donating to this cause, you are not only supporting a worthy initiative but also contributing to the well-being of your community.
In-person drop-off donations for this specific fund have not been specified, so online donation is currently the recommended method.
