Welcome to Food Bank on Wheels
What makes us different?
We provide perishable & non-perishable food hampers to Single Parent Families who are poor or in need and cannot go to a regular Food Bank due to an illness or disability in the family.
Make a donation to help us with our
2024 BACK TO SCHOOL FOOD HAMPERS
& KNAPSACKS WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES
This time of year is very difficlut for our clients regarding the costs associated with back to school.
We have to secure funds by Aug 26, 2024.
That leaves us with 7-10 days to purchase all the perishable foods and knapsacks along with school supplies to be ready for our Sept. 2024 deliveries.
Your immediate support is crucial!
Surging food & fuel prices are driving up the cost of each food hamper we provide to Single Parent Families and their children as well as our involvement in the snack and lunch program of School District 42 (resuming Sept. 2024)
How will your donation help?
Click the Donate Now button!
Your donation of $250 will help cover the cost of each food/school hamper.
Each Back To School Hamper and Knapsack With School Supplies will consist of perishable and the non-perishable foods they need, costing us $150 per food hamper.
Each child/teen will receive age appropriate school supplies along with a knapsack that will cost us $100 per child/teen.
YOUR DONATION OF $250 WILL BUY PERISHABLE FOODS WE NORMALLY DO NOT GET DONATED including FRUITS & VEGETABLES, BREAD, MARGARINE, JUICE, MILK, EGGS
along with the transportation costs for each Single Parent Families food hamper delivery, along with the knapsack with school supplies.
We are also helping with Food Insecurity for students in School District 42
with donated and food-rescued food that we receive.
This service that we provide, a home delivered food hamper, fills a service gap that is not readily provided since most regular food banks do not deliver.

“My boys and I recommended Food Bank on Wheels!!
This year has already had its toughness and then we add a break up with my children’s father (they are in process of transitioning and prefer males over females, and unfortunately it meant an end for all of us as a family). Lots of struggles now trying to juggle full rent, full bills and full everything on my own and add in covid 19 and no work. I decided to try and better myself to give my boys and I a better life so I enrolled in school on top of my son starting kindergarten and trying to juggle everything doesn’t allow for time to go to a regular food bank and back since I do not have my license as that’s just one expense I can’t add on top of everything else. Not able to go to a regular food bank as my time and stresses juggling everything are already so thin they have been a life saver and the look on my sons eyes when they give him the things he absolutely loves gives me a glimpse of hope and not an absolute failure. I appreciate everyone’s hard work and it’s such a blessing. God bless everyone and thank you so so very much! ”

What Makes Our Food Bank Different
Unlike traditional food banks, we help single parent households who can not physically pick up food hampers due to disability or illness in the family.
Food Bank on Wheels delivers perishable and non-perishable foods directly to the homes of our clients.
