A cool place to volunteer is…

The Northern Illinois Food bank…

[1]



The mission of NIFB is to provide nutritious food to all those in need through our own efforts and those of our 665 partner agencies in the following 13 counties - Boone, DuPage, DeKalb, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, Ogle, Stephenson, Will and Winnebago. NIFB acquires, gathers, handles, and distributes approximately three million pounds of donated, government, and purchased food each month through local food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, youth activity centers and other food assistance sites.

NIFB provides food for an estimated 502,400 different people annually, and 61,600 different people in any given week. Almost half (48%) of the members of households served by NIFB are under 18 years old. (Hunger in America Study 2010) This is a significant increase of 65% over the past four years, reflecting the skyrocketing demand caused by the recent recession and high levels of unemployment. Eleven of the thirteen counties comprising NIFB’s service area have unemployment rates higher than the Illinois rate of 10.3% (July 2010) and three counties are ranked with the highest unemployment in Illinois (Winnebago, Boone and Ogle ). Cities such as Belvidere, North Chicago, Rockford and Kankakee have seen sustained unemployment rates of between 15% - 25% for the past year and many people are seeking food assistance for the first time.

In the past fiscal year NIFB distributed a record 35.1 million pounds of food, a 28% increase over the previous year. We have 13 trucks on the road every day delivering a wide variety of food including non-perishable items, frozen meat, fresh fruits, vegetables and bread to partner agencies and picking up donations throughout our 7,000 square mile service area. Agencies pay a shared maintenance fee of approximately 13 cents a pound and receive no-cost delivery of food directly to their agency. On average our partner agencies receive 70% of the food they distribute from the Food Bank. We are one of the few food banks in the country offering no cost delivery to our partner agencies saving them money which they can then spend on food rather than transportation.

NIFB’s programs include Food Recovery picking up frozen meat, produce, bread and bakery goods from a total of 109 retail stores on a weekly basis. In the past year we recovered 6.6 million pounds of food of which 3.3 million pounds was protein-rich meat. The Mobile Pantry, a traveling food pantry carrying 10,000 pounds of food provides direct distribution of food in under-served areas or for agencies with limited storage and the Senior Food Box and Emergency Food Box Programs increase the amount of food available for targeted populations.



NIFB’s consistent commitment to service and high operating standards has earned us recognition for our innovative approach to feeding hungry people. We are proud of our achievements, especially our recent recognition by Feeding America as the 2010 Food Bank of the Year. In addition, we have seven consecutive years of a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, and were recently ranked as one of their ten Slam-Dunk charities outperforming most charities for fiscal responsibility and protection of the private information of our donors.

This Day…

George Washington’s Diary, while on canoe trip with William Crawford and William Harrison, 6th and 5th grandfathers respectively:

November 23, 1770. Left Fort Pitt and reachd Mr. John Stephensons. (John Stephenson is the compilers 6th great grand uncle.)



November 23rd: 1770.—After settling with the Indians and people that attended me down the river, and defraying the stmndry expenses accruing at Pittsburg. I set off on my return home; and, after dining at the widow Mier’s, on Turtle creek, reached Mr. John Stephenson’s in the night.





John Stephenson was William and Valentine Crawford's half brother. After the death of the Crawfords' father, their mother, Onora Grimes Crawford (d. 1776), married Richard Stephenson, by whom she had five sons and one daughter. [3]


John Stephenson had served in the French and Indian War and settled in the vicinity of the Great Crossing of the Youghiogheny about 1768. He was involved from time to time in the Crawfords' land activities.



The following is taken from Harrison family history by James Harrison (page 58)



Lyman Draper obtains statements #1 that are useful to this study. Samuel Murphy was reared in the home of William Crawford's half-brother, John Stephenson. Samuel Murphy remembered that John Stephenson, William Crawford, and the brothers Lawrence Harrison and Charlesarrison, crossed the mountains the same time. Wm. Crawford later deposed #2 that he made homestead improvements on Youghiogheny in 1765, and that he bourght his family there in the spring of the following year. By 1767 John Stephenson was a batteau man at the Fort Pitt trading post of Baynton, Wharton and Morgan. A partner of the pHILADELPHIA cOMPANY, sAMUEL wAHRTON, HAD BEEN A MEMBER OF THE oHIO cdOMPANY, WITH jOhN Mercer of Virginia.[4]

“Gray Ghost: John Singleton Mosby” [11]

John Singleton Mosby was born in Edgemont, Virginia, on 6th December, 1833. Brought up near Charlottesville he entered the University of Virginia in 1849. At university he was charged with shooting another student and was sentenced to a term of imprisonment. While in prison he studied he studied law and after his release he became a lawyer in Bristol. On the outbreak of the American Civil War Mosby joined the Confederate Army. At first he served as a private in the 1st Virginia Cavalry and fought at Bull Run, Promoted to the rank of lieutenant in February, 1862, Mosby began scouting for James Jeb Stuart and was responsible for the ride around George McClellan in June. In January, 1863 Mosby and a team of nine men began attacking isolated Union Army posts in Virginia and Maryland. As captured goods were divided up between the men Union official regarded Mosby’s men as criminals rather than soldiers. [12]



Salisbury North Carolina Union Prison: Ancestor Job Kirby is imprisoned here. 10,700 will die this winter at Salisbury Prison.

November 23rd, 1864. The dawning of this morning brought us suffering beyond the power of words to express. We are hungry, cold and heart sick. For some reason unknown to us we were allowed to go without any rations-notheing to eat since the day before yesterday. This lack of food and exposure to the intense cold, is increasing the nunmber of sick, which, of course, means a large increase in the death roll. The lime with which the rebel cooks attempt to raise the bread they give us to eat is having its natural effect on the prisoners. The stomachs of some have become so affected that they cannot retain the bread, while others have such sore mouths that they cannot eat the bread w except by breaking it into very small pieces, soaking and boiling it, and then eating it with a spoon. The teeth of many have become loose, and in some instances, have fallen out. Such are the dreadful results arising from the very food these monsters are giveng us to subsist on.

The mustering officer made his appearance again to-day and has been using all his powers of persuasion and flattery, backed up by great promises, to induce the prisoners to enlist in his miserable rebel army. His offers to-day were, one hundered dollars Confederate money, three bushels of sweet potatoes, full rations and twenty dollars per month. This is a strong temptation to men who are starving to death, especially when they know there is no hope whatever of a change in their condition, unless death make it. To suffer day after day, hopeless, starving, perishing, while, by a single act the whole aspect of life might be changed to comparative comfort and plenty is a severe test of patriotism and loyalty. But that act would mean treason to the Flag we swore to defend. And it is wonder ful to see with what determination and scorn these slowly-murdered men reject the alternative. Death anytime and in any way! Treason and disloyalty, never!

The day has nearly closed and nothing has been given us to eat. Excitement is a fever heat. The prisoners are gathering in groups all over the stockade and are becoming desperate. The question is discussed, "Must we yield to this barbarous treatment without making an effort of some...[13]



• November 23, 1939: Hans Frank, the governor-general of the Generalgouvernent, orders that all Jews in the Generalgouvernement must wear the yellow badge by December 1, 1939.[14]

[5] Besides GW, six officers were present or represented at this meeting. Learning of GW’s recent actions on behalf of the veterans, they warmly thanked him for his efforts and approved his distribution of the surveyed lands as an equitable one. He should, they recommended, be excused from his offer to sacrifice his own bounty lands in case of a redivision (resolves and statement of officers of the Virginia Regiment, November 23, 1772). The Virginia council considered this recommendation on g Dec. and agreed that if no complaints were received by june, GWwould be released from his promise. (Va. Exec.Jls., 6:~i6).
