Leading legal services provider Codilis and Associates incorporates community-mindedness into its company values. Since its founding in 1977, Codilis and Associates has been a dedicated patron of multiple local nonprofits. The firm has been recognized for its support of organizations that work to reduce hunger and food insecurity in the state.
Food Insecurity is defined as a lack of reliable access to a varied and nutritionally sufficient diet. Many households experience food insecurity periodically, such as in times of unemployment or periods when utility bills are higher than normal. In Illinois in 2018, one of out of every 10 households was food insecure.
Some of the groups most highly-impacted by food insecurity include children, individuals with disabilities, and families living at or below the poverty line. In addition to ensuring access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for 200,000 residents, Illinois has passed several laws and initiatives to increase food bank funding and extend food assistance program coverage to all in-need students from the elementary to university level.
