service is available to anyone with an eligible child, and eligibility is not
ZIP code specific. If you are in need of these supplies, please bring your
photo ID and a copy of your child(ren)’s birth
certificate or medical card to Crittenton Centers,
located at 442 W John H Gwynn Jr. in Peoria. Pull to the side door of the

American Red Cross now faces a severe blood shortage due to an unprecedented
number of blood drive cancellations during this coronavirus outbreak. Healthy
individuals are needed to donate now to help patients counting on lifesaving
blood. Donating blood is a safe process and people should not hesitate to
give or receive blood. Right now, eligible and healthy donors are strongly
urged to make an appointment to give soon. For more information or to set up
an appointment to give blood, call 309-677-7272. In
addition to feeding the hungry, Midwest Food Bank provides disaster relief in
partnership with The Salvation Army, distributing boxes of food and personal
care items. This year, responding to the COVID-19 crisis, 40 semi-loads of
relief have been delivered and 25 more semi-loads have been requested and
planned. Midwest Food Bank distributes food without cost to over 2,000
not-for-profit pantries and social service agencies in the US, and
internationally in East Africa and Haiti. Midwest Food Bank has continued
operations through the COVID-19 crisis by adapting procedures to follow
social distancing recommendations. For more information or to make a donation
