Faith Feeds Pantry Receives $100K Grant For Mobile Food Program In Palatine

PALATINE, IL — Faith Feeds Food Pantry announced its selection as a partner in Endeavor Health's 2026 Community Investment Fund. The organization received a CIF Capacity Builder Award totaling $100,000. This grant is designated to transport more fresh, healthy perishable food for its mobile pantry operations.

The new funding will enable the purchase of a refrigerated box truck. This truck will allow the mobile pantry to distribute additional perishables into apartment complexes, providing healthy food to residents.

"As a barely two-year-old nonprofit, we are beyond grateful to Endeavor Health's commitment to giving back within the communities it serves," said Adrienne Bolbot, director of Faith Feeds Food Pantry. "Support like this means we serve even more neighbors in need."

Endeavor Health selected Faith Feeds Food Pantry as one of nine new Capacity Builder recipients. The fund also supports 42 current partners across Chicagoland. These collaborations focus on community health needs, including behavioral health, food and housing insecurity, access to care, and careers in healthcare.

"Endeavor Health is here every day to support the health and well-being of our patients and their families," said Kristen Murtos, chief innovation and transformation officer of Endeavor Health. She added. "Through our Community Investment Fund, we're collaborating with local organizations that people know and trust — helping them remove barriers to care, meet immediate needs and create long-term solutions that help individuals and families thrive."

Removing transportation barriers for Faith Feeds Food Pantry clients means bringing food directly to their living areas. This initiative aims to strengthen communities by ensuring at-risk individuals have access to fresh, healthy food. The grant will increase the mobile pantry's impact and create new opportunities for rescue food.
