Illinois Community Food Map

  • Families in Illinois who are eligible can now find free food or meal programs with a new interactive tool from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and Illinois SNAP.  The tool can filter location of the food or meals, school and summer meal programs, and grocery stores and farmers markets accepting SNAP/LINK or WIC and Senior vouchers. A new filtering option allows users to find exactly which meals are offered at a location, including breakfast, lunch, snacks, supper, and weekend meals, including if the meals are offered free or at reducedd prices and who is eligible.
