MARION – The Fowler Bonan Foundation received a generous donation from Laborers’ Local 773 Union, continuing their long-standing partnership to combat food insecurity across southern Illinois.
Laborers’ Local 773 has been dedicated to improving the lives of those in their community since 1940, and their ongoing collaboration with the Fowler Bonan Foundation has made a significant impact on families in need.
In 2024, the two organizations worked together to distribute thousands of meals, including the delivery of 300 turkeys during the Thanksgiving season. Their combined efforts have been instrumental in addressing food insecurity in some of the region’s most underserved areas.
Founded 24 years ago, the Fowler Bonan Foundation focuses on two main initiatives: Clothes for SI Kids and Heaven’s Kitchen. Last year alone, they clothed over 900 children with new school clothes and served over 14,000 hot meals to individuals and families throughout southern Illinois.
“This donation from Laborers’ Local 773 allows us to continue our work and reach even more people in need,” said Dale Fowler, Fowler Bonan Foundation Founder & Chairman. “We’re grateful for their ongoing support and partnership as we work together to strengthen our communities.”
Donations like these help Heaven’s Kitchen continue its mission to provide free, hot meals to those in need every week, ensuring that no one in the community has to go hungry.
