Mission: The Belvidere Boone County Food Pantry is a non-profit organization that provide food and non-food products to people in need. The Pantry serves as a bridge to help transition those facing hard times until they become self-sufficient. Our goal is to give people hope and to make a difference in their lives.
Results: Through our various programs, we are able to serve thousands of Boone County Residents living in poverty each month. Our food pantry distribution alone provides food to over 1,200 clients per month. We also support food delivery to home-bound individuals and local community meals that feed hundreds as well. Our clothing program provides clothing to everyone who walks through our doors who needs it. In addition, all clients receive non-food products such a toilet paper and cough medicine, resulting in thousands of non-food products being distributed each month. We distribute furniture as it becomes available. Our other programs include birthday, Easter, Halloween, Valentine's Day, and Christmas gifts for children of families that utilize our facility. We're proud to partner with and support a number of organizations across the region to ensure that everyone living in poverty in our community receives that support they need.
