Mary Fontaine, a tireless volunteer at Food for Greater Elgin, just earned top honors as a Meijer Hunger Relief Hero — one of just 18 across the Midwest recognized for their heroic efforts against food insecurity. Using her tech and business skills, she manages the pantry’s logistics, coordinates deliveries for homebound neighbors, and trains new volunteers — often putting in 30+ hours a week with her granddaughter by her side. Her dedication, first celebrated internally as a “Champion of the Month,” has inspired a diverse volunteer community including ER doctors, musicians, and former pantry recipients. Meijer’s support — through food donations and local gift card drives — amplifies her impact, turning her passion into real change.
