Northeast Community Fund

The Northeast Community Fund, located in Decatur, IL, is a non-profit agency that strives to help as many families as possible by providing much needed food each and every month.  They have a Facebook page and would love a friend invite.  The store is located at 825 N Water Street in Decatur, Illinois 62523   This astounding organization provides support for over 1600 families per month and have already served 730 new families in 2011. The work they do is quite impressive and they make good use of their limited resources!  This organization not only provides food to our local families in need, they also provide clothing, used furniture and many other living essentials.  They have a free clothing room, which of course provides much needing clothing.  So if you have things just filling up your garage, please remember the Northeast Community fund. They take donations of clothes and household items everyday.  However, the need for food is growing in the Decatur area.  Right now, due to the over whelming  response they are getting from families in need, non-perishable food items are urgently needed.  They collect these much needed items every day from individual families and also through collections from churches, schools, and food drives. They need your help to keep their food shelves filled so that they can continue their ministry.  If you have some can goods lying around your pantry or have a few minutes to stop by the grocery store, please consider grabbing a few items after work and dropping them off at their water street location. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated.  Please, also take a few seconds to share this page using the social media links below and help spread the word! Thank you for your consideration!
