SPRINGFIELD – Central Illinois Food Bank’s need for food is nonstop.
CHS Shipman’s collective employee donation Wednesday was $5,480. As grateful as food bank executive director Pam Molitoris is, she adds that won’t go far.
“When you put this $5400, and someone else’s $10, and another person’s $100, when all of those people are coming to us to help us solve the issue, then it goes a long ways,” she said.
That’s because the food bank helps about 100,000 people – who eat three meals a day – in 21 counties.
Molitoris, who says she accepts both food and cash donations, adds the need for volunteers will only increase, when the food bank starts an Uber Eats-style program to connect donors, volunteers, and recipients.
