Partnering with Local Food Banks to Fight Hunger

Nicor Gas believes a healthy and stable community is a thriving community. We partner with nonprofit organizations that provide individuals in our communities with basic needs support, as well as those who promote stability and wellness.

That’s why we partner with organizations like the River Bend Food Bank, which collects and distributes food to hunger relief partners in parts of Nicor Gas’s Western Illinois territory.

During Nicor Gas’ 28th Annual Volunteer Week, employees helped sort and pack food to support the nonprofit organization. Earlier this year, Nicor Gas provided a $50,000 gift to River Bend Food Bank to support its Leap Year Matching Gift campaign; the matching gifts enabled the purchase of 500,000 meals to further support their efforts.
