Furloughed Federal Employees and Others Can Get Free Food Friday in Crystal Lake

First Church (First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake) continues to coordinate with the Northern Illinois Food Bank to distribute a wide range of food Fridays at the Nunda Township Hall north of Crystal Lake.

Where the Bay Road Nunda Township Office complex is located.

Besides the Food Bank, church members pick up food from Jewel stores in Woodstock, Cary and Crystal Lake.

Coming about noon will fit the scheduled truck delivered most Fridays.

When this photo was taken of the Nunda Township Hall most people were lined up inside.  Now pretty much everyone is seated inside waiting for their numbers to be picked.

Those signing up are assigned numbers, which are drawn at random.

There is not prerequisite for eligibility.

If one wants food, all one has to do is sign up.

  1. **They can thank Nancy and Chuck for their misery.**

    Saying it over and over again doesn’t make it true.

    There was a bipartisan deal to keep the government open without funding the wall.

    Trump said no.

    Trump wanted this shutdown.

    He was giddy about shutting government down over wall funding.

    It is his shutdown to own.

  2. Abe –

    Listen to your emperor! Trump literally said to blame him…

    “I am proud to shut down the government for border security. … I will take the mantle,” Trump said. “I will be the one to shut it down — I’m not going to blame you for it.” – DJT

  3. There’s a temp agency on rt 120 in McHenry that’s advertising jobs that need filling.

  4. The Lefties have got their panties in a bunch and I’m LOVIN’ IT – MAGA#45 !!!

  5. The five counties with the highest median income all surround D.C.

    Yes, these selfless public servants all need help, maintaining those plantations they seem to live on.

  6. Unfortunately, most politicians only act in their own best interest.

    Currently, Chuck, Nancy and crew believe it is best for them to oppose wall funding and keep the government closed.

    If they suddenly felt it would be better for them personally to ok the funding and end the shutdown they would do it immediately.

    They could give a fiddler’s f**k about anything else. If you think they care you are foolish.

  7. A funding bill would pass Congress easily if McConnel would allow a vote. Trump and McConnel own this shutdown.

  8. A funding bill would pass Congress easily if McConnel would allow a vote.

    Trump and McConnel own this shutdown.

    So they will fund the wall?

  9. The “wall” would need at least THREE TIMES (some estimate up to FIVE times) the amount being demanded by Trump ($5,400,000,000).

    The “wall” would take between 5-10 years to complete by Trump Administration estimates.

    How does this solve the “crisis” that we have right now?

    It wouldnt even be complete until Trump is out of office in 2024?

    Can a wall supporter please explain?

    What is the point of this fight other than to stroke the EGO of a conman?

  10. It is NOT a lottery system. Spent over 6 months TRYING to get food for 5 children. To be denied twice, After sitting there over 5 hours each time, watching how she does things. while the ‘chosen selected numbers Deb chooses- get called. Same lady comes in and goes 1st every time. If you go early, you’ll be one of the last picked. If you can beg good or you know somebody…we watched this lady go thru 3 times BEFORE a crowded room of 50. So much food, They could not get in their car. But after 5 hours, I had to leave for kids getting off the bus.Empty handed. Oh, this private club really gets great stuff. Too bad its ONLY for a select few. No homeless w/pets allowed, you will be told to leave. This NEEDS to be handled better. Clearly, the people who desperately need it…are denied.
