| CONFERENCE CHARITY |
Each year IGFOA Conference participants demonstrate community support and awareness by raising monies for designated charities. This year's charity is the Eastern Illinois Food Bank: The Eastern Illinois Food Bank exists to alleviate hunger in Eastern Illinois by providing a reliable source of food for the hungry through cooperation with a network of food pantries and agencies. The food bank was established in 1983 by a group of dedicated community volunteers concerned about the growing number of families in eastern Illinois facing hunger. With just $2,000 in the bank to get started, the food bank distributed more than 770,000 pounds of food the first year, enough for more than 593,000 meals. Since that time, the Eastern Illinois Food Bank has grown by leaps and bounds. In 2008, the food bank distributed nearly 5 million pounds of food, providing tens of thousands of meals to more than 43,000 men, women and children each month. Donors will be recognized at the Sunday evening Party.
