Fight hunger by contributing to our virtual food drive, all February long.

Food insecurity puts life out of tune.

Parents shouldn’t have to choose between feeding their kids and keeping the lights on. No one should go hungry so they can afford to pay rent, buy life-saving medicine, or put gas in the car to get to work in the morning.

A full cupboard? That’s music to our ears.

Fight Food Insecurity this February

Step 1:
Compose a Team

Create your own food drive and embrace a little friendly fundraising competition.

Find detailed instructions here.

Step 2:
Crank up the Volume

Share, share, share: Ask your friends and family to contribute to your food drive via social media, email, and even in person.

Step 3:
Win ESO Tickets

The team conductor that raises the most will win six tickets to an Elgin Symphony Orchestra show.

Serving up hope, stability, and empowerment.

Power

By affording guests a normal shopping experience, FFGE gives back a small amount of control to our food-insecure shoppers.

Peace

Our guests leave with a cartful of groceries and the security of knowing they don’t have to worry about food.

Harmony

Free of the worry and financial burden of food insecurity, FFGE shoppers can begin to build a better tomorrow.
