Help feed the hungry while doing your taxes

Feeding Illinois tax donation progress meter
We currently are at 25 percent of a $100,000 goal. If the goal is not met, this option will no longer be available on tax forms.

This tax season, give back while you complete your income tax form by donating to hunger relief efforts across Illinois. A new tax check-off program, approved this past fall, makes it easier than ever to donate.

Simply check off “Hunger Relief” listed in Schedule G and enter your donation amount on Line i. Donations will benefit Feeding Illinois, a coalition of the eight Feeding America food banks covering every part of Illinois. One hundred percent of each donation goes to support feeding programs across the state. Feeding Illinois member food banks include:

  • Central Illinois Foodbank
  • Eastern Illinois Foodbank
  • Greater Chicago Food Depository
  • Northern Illinois Food Bank
  • Peoria Area Food Bank
  • River Bend Foodbank
  • St. Louis Area Foodbank
  • Tri-State Foodbank

During these challenging times, no donation is too small. To learn more about Feeding Illinois or to donate online, visit www.feedingillinois.org.
