The Eastern Illinois Food Bank is an organization aimed at finding those in need in east-central Illinois and providing them with healthy meals.
Their mobile food pantry will be making a stop in Clinton Wednesday as a part of several other stops over the next several weeks. Kristen Boesch is the Food Bank's Vice President and explains their mobile food pantry provides families with meals for seven days.

Wednesday's distribution at the Nazarene Church will be from 3 pm to 4:30 pm. Boesch explains it is not all canned goods they are distributing, as they get a majority of their food from retailers.
