In addition to generating funds for Northern Illinois Food Bank, your generous donation will provide your company with substantial advertising and exposure at the event.

I ve attached our auction package featuring more information about our events, an in-kind donation form, and a list of items that have been successful in previous years. Please submit the in-kind donation form with your donation. We thank you in advance for your generosity and consideration. For every $1 raised, the Food Bank is able to provide $8 of food to our hungry neighbors in our community. On behalf of myself and the event committee, thank you for your support!
