Volunteers label canned vegetables at Midwest Food Bank. The organization started with a family delivering food donations to 10 local food pantries in McLean County, Illinois, back in 2003. The facility has grown so much that its current base of operations is a mammoth 100,000-square-foot warehouse.

Volunteers pack disaster relief for hurricane victims in the summer of 2017. The Midwest Food Bank distributed $158 million worth of food in 2017.

MFB became a Salvation Army first responder in 2005 following Hurricane Katrina. Today, the organization is one of the first called when disaster strikes, with its international operations soon to include Haiti.
