2025 Campaign: Illinois Down at the Farms SNAP Fundraiser

Since the end of September, Down at the Farms and Think Regeneration have had our food program funding to our local communities and food banks suspended and taken away. During the months of August and September, we delivered over $250,000 in food to a couple area food banks. Now with Nov. 1 fast approaching, and SNAP funding no longer available, many families everywhere who relied on those funds, are stressed about where they are going to be able to access their family’s food.

Our goal is to raise at least $25,000 dollars in donations from as many individuals, farmers, businesses, and organizations that we can . That amount would provide one week’s worth of food that the grant had been providing. 100% of the funds received will go toward providing food for SNAP program participants.

Checks can be made out to Think Regeneration, 23843 Kings Drive, Colona, IL 61241. Put "SNAP fundraiser" in the memo line. Think Regeneration is the official nonprofit fiscal sponsor of Down at the Farms.

You can donate any amount over $1.00.
