The Eastern Illinois Foodbank is announcing it's expanding service to reach into rural communities.  The Foodbank is unveiling its new Foodmobile program.  The goal is to help support food pantries across the18-county service region and make sure everyone gets the food they need. But that can be hard to do in rural towns and areas where there are no food pantries.
“Rural communities are unique in that you have to have a car, you have to have transportation to get anywhere to find some of these services, said Kelly Daly, EIF President and CEO.
So the EIF is stepping in to help with a new solution: a pickup truck-hauled trailer that can run routes where the need for food is.
