Three maps which depict the distribution of families who live in the “food assistance gap” — between 130% and 185% of poverty — were added recently.
They can be found in the “Eastern Illinois Foodbank” menu, on the “Food Assistance Gap” page.

About Michael Gillespie
Director of Faculty Development and Innovation
Professor of Sociology
Eastern Illinois University
My pedagogy and teaching philosophy are rooted in collaboration, inquiry, empathy and empowerment, and a growth mindset. I believe in high impact educational methods, but I know that such practices range from online and technological innovations to a simple pad of paper and colored markers, or even informal conversation over coffee or lunch. I take pride in being an educator-scholar, using my passion for service and research to inform my teaching and praxis. But from a student-centered perspective; the foundation of higher education is the students, and the mortar of this institution is the relationship between students and faculty.
