Champaign, IL Church and Worship Center Food Pantries Information
Food Insecurity is real
59% of people seeking food assistance choose between paying for food and paying rent or mortgage.
Each night in the U.S., 17.4 million families go to bed hungry. An additional 6.9 million families experience very low food security. Because many families live in food deserts where affordable food isn't readily available, when they do eat, many children eat highly processed food with a lack of nutrients.
Hunger is curable. You can help!
The Salvation Army provides more than 65,000 nutritious meals for seniors, children and families in Champaign every year.
Every day we're providing meals to children in Head Start programs, families in shelters, people living on the streets, and struggling neighbors who are unsure of where their next meal will come from. In addition to addressing the immediate symptoms of food insecurity, our programs are designed to help identify and treat its root cause
