Looking Forward: Goals for 2027
As we plan for Fiscal Year 2027, our mission remains the same: to provide food security and access to community resources that stabilize lives.
Here is how we will work to meet that goal in Fiscal Year 2027:
Nourish
Meet the increasing demand while focusing on supplying a variety of nutritious, culturally appropriate groceries for our guests to choose from.
Lead
Advocate for nutrition, expand community partnerships, learn from other pantries, and network in our community as a leader in the work of stabilizing lives.
Grow
Continue to improve our financial position through fundraising and analytics, invest in our staff, and accommodate more guests as we enhance their shopping experience.
Support Our Mission
So many of our guests are experiencing profound instability. They need a job, medical care, or housing. Many of them are on both SNAP and Medicaid, and program changes will jeopardize their lives. How can they possibly start to solve these problems without knowing where their next meals are coming from? Food is the first step, and we partner with other nonprofits to provide additional social services at our pantry so our guests can pursue a more stable future.
“Food for Greater Elgin is such a vital part of this community. The work you do goes so far beyond food. You create a space where people feel welcomed, supported, and seen. The impact you have on so many families is immeasurable. Thank you for everything you do.”
