It's just getting worse," said county board member Greg Schwarze, who also heads the human services committee. "Food pantries and the Northern Illinois Food Bank continue to report that they are getting record crowds from week to week and month to month." During the last two years, the county has awarded more than $7 million to local food pantries and nonprofit groups to help battle food insecurity. Though much of the money has gone to help purchase food, the county has also provided money to help food pantries with capital needs, including refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, shelving, and technology. "We believe these investments will build a framework that will support food pantries into the future and continue to find new and innovative ways to get fresh food to those who need it most," Schwarze said. WORKING TO HELP OUR SENIORS    Greg joined DuPage County Community Services and 30 other area providers at the County's Senior Fair in honor of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Greg is adamant that we need to protect our most vulnerable population; by 2034, older adults will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history.    FIREFIGHTERS ENDORSE SCHWARZE  Greg is honored to be endorsed by his brothers and sisters in Wheaton, Carol Stream and West Chicago.     "West Chicago Fire Fighters Local 3970 would like to formally endorse Greg Schwarze for County Board 6.
