Bradley, Illinois – A free drive-through grocery distribution will take place March 16 in Bradley, offering food assistance to families with children and teens.
According to a notice from Bradley Public Library and the Northern Illinois Food Bank, the Family Market event is scheduled for Monday from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the library, located at 296 N. Fulton Ave.
Organizers say households with kids and teens age 18 and under are eligible to receive free groceries. No registration, identification, documentation, or residency requirements are needed. Food will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
Vehicles may begin lining up at 4:30 p.m., according to the announcement. Organizers are asking attendees to be mindful of neighboring driveways while waiting.
The event is sponsored by the Northern Illinois Food Bank and hosted in partnership with Bradley Public Library. The distribution is structured as a drive-through pickup to streamline traffic flow and allow families to remain in their vehicles.
Community food distributions like this are often used to supplement household grocery budgets, particularly for families balancing school, childcare, and work schedules. For students and young workers in eligible households, the event may help offset rising food costs.
