Thanks to a new collaboration between Amazon and the Midwest Food Bank, almost eight hundred thousand pounds of food are in the hands of those fighting food insecurity.

Through the Amazon Local Good program, Amazon provides last-mile delivery to support the food bank, providing food to those in need. Patrick Burke serves as the Executive Director of the food bank in Normal.

The collaboration began in 2022 and has developed into a multi-faceted effort to address food insecurity. Amazon has been a partner of the Food Bank since 2022. In the past year, Midwest Food Bank distributed 482 million dollars worth of food.
