Advance McHenry County funding food pantries, deliveries for needy
A $825,000 grant through the Advance McHenry County program will purchase goods for area food pantries, and help fund a new United Way of Greater McHenry County program for home food delivery for needy families.
The award to the Northern Illinois Food Bank will purchase needed food that is not commonly donated, which in turn will be distributed to McHenry County food pantries. It also will help fund a partnership between the United Way of Greater McHenry County and DoorDash to participate in the national Ride United: Last Mile Delivery program to bring groceries to under served people and communities.
Advance McHenry County is a groundbreaking program investing tens of millions of federal COVID-19 recovery dollars directly into eligible projects to improve the community. You can learn more by visiting www.mchenrycountyil.gov/advance.
