SBB Research Group Foundation Awards Additional Grants to 3 Illinois Nonprofits

March 18, 2025 --

The SBB Research Group Foundation invited three prior grant recipients to share updates on their critical efforts to support the local community. The Foundation awarded additional grants to further each respective organization’s mission (organizations listed alphabetically):

  • Hunger Resource Network (Northbrook, IL) reduces food insecurity by distributing surplus food to recipient agencies. Through initiatives like Community Outreach Days – Poultry to Pantries, Hunger Resource Network (HRN) streamlines distribution without directly serving individuals. An initial grant provided 10,000 additional pounds of chicken (20,000 servings) for their November 2024 Protein to Pantries Day, where HRN distributed a record 80 tons of protein in a single event.
  • Outreach House (Lombard, IL) assists individuals and families in the York Township area. The organization’s programs allow access to nutritious food, diapers, infant hygiene items, clothing for all ages, and emergency financial help. Since relocating in August 2022, its diaper distribution has increased from 6,000 to over 20,000 per month. The initial grant funded three pallets of diapers, expanding access to essential supplies for local families.
  • Support Over Stigma (St. Charles, IL) supports Military personnel, Veterans, First Responders, and their families with resources to overcome mental health and service-related challenges. The initial grant provided meals, temporary housing for homeless veterans, support for Great Lakes Sailors, and expanded outreach to first responders. It also funded the I AM the Veteran female program, 12-step meetings, and a resource fair for 150 veterans.

“We are proud to continue supporting Hunger Resource Network, Outreach House, and Support Over Stigma as they make a lasting impact by addressing food insecurity, essential needs, and mental health support in their communities,” said Matt Aven, co-founder and board member of the SBB Research Group Foundation.

The Foundation encourages any 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to apply for a grant at sbbrg.org/apply-for-grant. Donations are awarded to different organizations monthly.
