PROJECT SUCCESS began in 1996 as the brainchild of then Illinois’ First Lady Brenda Edgar as a means of creating community programs that would involve families – children and parents working, playing and being together.

Programs have changed with the times, but the mission remains the same – to offer activities to strengthen family units.

Numerous local organizations, including houses of worship, service and civic organizations, school groups, scouts and local businesses – as well as friends, contribute to our programs. Dedicated volunteers make our work possible – and for them – we are most thankful and appreciative

One of the most visible programs sponsored by Project Success is Hall Twp. Food Pantry. This is a Client-Choice Pantry – which means our patrons “shop” with the help of volunteers who serve as personal shoppers.

This enables them to select items they like and need rather than being given a pre-packaged box of food. Patrons are allowed to shop once each month and leave the Pantry with over 70 lbs. of food.

To support the Pantry, we plan several fund – and food raisers where the help of volunteers is so important.

Hall Township Food Pantry hours: Monday-Tuesday-Thursday-Friday, 10am to 12 Noon ….. 5pm to 7 pm, Wednesday
