Company Info

Illinois Partners in Hope is a 501(c)(3) non for profit located in New Lenox, IL (EIN: 45-4837546). We support dozens of food pantries and organizations located throughout Northern Illinois. Through our partnerships with other non profits, and the generosity of our donors, we are able to provide a NO COST service to these food pantries and organizations. Our agency offers regular food donations and delivery options. Whether we are out delivering to a local church hosting a drive-thru giveaway event, or if we are making a weekly stop at a fixed pantry, we never charge for our services. 

Our goal is simple, we aim to decrease food insecurity within the communities we serve and to ensure that no person goes hungry. We feel very passionately about our goals and we have both short term and long-range plans in the works to revolutionize the way our community deals with these issues.

As you can imagine, there can be some high operating costs associated with running a food bank. We need a larger warehouse with increased refrigeration, we can always use more employees, more equipment and more vehicles. Each year we continue to deliver more goods (13 million lbs in 2023) and serve more people (over 650,000 in 2023). The year to year increase continues to show how great the need really is, and motivated us to seek out ways to expand our mission and increase the number of families we can feed.

Raffles for Hope is a fundraising concept we developed to assist organizations and nonprofits in reaching their fundraising goals via a user-friendly virtual platform. Many of the local nonprofits we support were faced with substantial operating deficits after Covid19 prevented them from hosting their typical annual fundraisers. golf outings, silent auctions, and banquet style dinners were cancelled. Without fundraising dollars to support these organizations, many struggled to keep their lights on. Some closed temporarily, and some closed permanently. 

Raffles for Hope can supply these organizations with a virtual platform to host their fundraisers. Instead of renting out a banquet facility and raffling off 100 baskets to 300 attendees, our platform will help you to reach an audience of thousands via a targeted marketing campaign and the full utilization of the tools provided by social media. You can customize the details of your raffle, including setting minimums and the length of the raffle. Wouldn’t it be great if your fundraiser could generate hundreds of new supporters every campaign opposed to relying upon the same donors to support your cause annually? Raffles for Hope ensures that people can support your cause safely without any scheduling conflicts. Your audience just became exponentially larger!

Beer, Bourbon, Mead, and More raffles support the immediate goals of Illinois Partners in Hope. We host 2 large raffles on an annual basis. Basically, we go around and procure some of the most sought-after, highly rated, and rare beers, bourbons, and meads to create an exciting and unique raffle to generate some serious attention our way. We have some grand plans for our community and we need to secure more funding to put them into action.
