flag Six Illinois townships launch food programs after shutdown, offering $1,000 vouchers and a new pantry.

flag Six Illinois townships in the Quad-Cities region have launched two new food assistance programs to combat rising food insecurity following the recent government shutdown. flag The Emergency Food Assistance Program, backed by up to $1 million in matching funds, will issue $1,000 in food vouchers per eligible household, with the first $30,000 already available. flag A second initiative, led by Project NOW, aims to establish a food pantry in Rock Island within 1,000 feet of a public park, pending regulatory approval, to address gaps caused by local regulations. flag Both programs are part of a coordinated regional response to immediate food needs, with residents encouraged to contact township offices or Project NOW for assistance.
