Kaitlyn Streitmatter, Senior Manager, Health and Community Wellness, Illinois Extension

Participants learned how the Find Food IL map helps residents find places in their communities offering free food or meals, stores and markets that accept food assistance, and more. Local leaders learned how they can promote this free and publicly accessible resource to help families stretch their household food budget.

This webinar recording teaches us how public and private food resources are showcased in this live food search tool - Find Food IL. Built in collaboration with state partners in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Illinois Extension maintains this tool and its suite of publicly available promotional materials to help Illinois communities get the word out to help residents meet their basic food needs. See more resources below.

Many thanks to Jennifer McCaffery, Asst Dean and Leader of Illinois Extension’s Family and Consumer Science Program, and our speakers: Caitlin Kownacki, Senior Program Lead of Evaluation, Health and Community Wellness, Illinois Extension; Kaitlyn Streitmatter, Senior Manager, Health and Community Wellness, Illinois Extension; and Michael Lotspeich-Yadao, Rural Sociologist and Research Assistant Professor, College of Applied Health Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
