THANK YOU! COMMUNITY SUPPORT

EIF recognized the following partners for their significant support in FY17:

Yahoo! and the Yahoo Employees Foundation were named our 2017 Business Partners of the Year. In 2017 alone, the Yahoo Employees Foundation donated nearly $400,000 to the Foodbank – including a legacy gift of $320,000 in June as a part of their final grant round. That’s over two million meals for hungry children, families, seniors and veterans in our community. What’s so impressive about this foundation is that the employees champion applications from charities across the country and submit them for approval.

More than just giving financially, Yahoo! has gotten involved with the mission of the Foodbank and given their time to the benefit of our community. Yahoos have donated over 570 hours to EIF, repacking bulk food in our warehouse, on Foodmobiles in rural areas and distributing groceries to veterans at our pop-up pantries. Thanks to Yahoo!’s involvement, the Foodbank has been encouraged and able to look at bigger, sustainable projects that provide resources for underserved populations like Pop-Up Food Pantry for Veterans. Thanks to Yahoo! over 2,000 veterans and their families were provided food and grocery product through Pop-Up Food Pantry for Veterans.

WDWS/WHMS/WKIO radio stations were named our 2017 Community Partner of the Year. By giving Eastern Illinois Foodbank a literal voice to reach new audiences, WDWS/WHMS radio stations empowered listeners to donate. More importantly, they partnered with us to educate the community on our mission to alleviate hunger. The radio group has been a true partner of the Foodbank for the last several years, helping us raise awareness about the issues of hunger and food insecurity. In 2015, the radio group integrated our fundraising and awareness campaigns into radio, print, digital and social media ad space to generate hundreds of thousands of impressions across various platforms. This integrated plan resulted in increased monetary gifts to the Foodbank during the holidays. Since their involvement, we’ve seen an 11% increase in gifts in November & December, equivalent to an additional 615,000 meals for our neighbors in need. Thanks in large part to our radio presence, in the last two years, EIF’s Day of Giving campaign has raised $286,000 – or 1.4 million meals for folks in our community. What an incredible impact!

SAMs Club was named our 2017 Food Donor of the Year. Last year, SAM’s stores in Champaign and Normal, donated nearly half a million pounds of product to Eastern Illinois Foodbank, a 56% increase over the year before. Also, 25% of that product, about 125,000 lbs., was fresh produce – a product they hadn’t donated in the past.

Sam’s Club in Champaign has donated to EIF for 10 years, while Sam’s Club in Normal was just added in 2015, when we expanded our service territory into McLean County. The Club in Champaign gave 237,000 lbs. to the Foodbank, while their counterpart in Normal added another 212,000 lbs. Perhaps more importantly, mindsets at the local stores toward donating and giving back to the community, have improved. All departments – from dairy to meat to produce to bakery - have bought into the idea of helping hungry neighbors access healthy food. These positive attitudes have resulted in in-store Foodbank advocates where associates are sharing the importance of store donations with one another and with customers. Through their efforts, SAM’s Club provided enough food for 370,438 meals to those in our community, last year alone.
