A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and proud member of Feeding America, we serve our neighbors in 13 counties with dignity, equity and convenience, providing 250,000 meals a day. We bring together manufacturers, local and corporate grocers, area farmers, corporations, foundations and individuals who donate food and funding, and each week nearly 1,000 volunteers assist us by evaluating, repacking and distributing groceries to our neighbors in need. We also proudly partner with more than 900 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and youth and senior feeding programs to provide nutritious food and resources.

NIFB Neighborhood Market

Our Center in Rockford is one of four across of our service area and is open to volunteers Tuesday through Saturday.  The Center houses an indoor market for the community.

There are many different ways that individuals can get involved and support the work to provide healthy food to thousands of neighbors each month. Volunteers are needed to pack and sort food, stock the shelves for the market, assist neighbors shopping in the market, and load cars for delivery and drive-up distributions.
