Let's Ketchup is a Kankakee County, Illinois nonprofit working to ease the burden of food scarcity so youth and families can flourish. We pay down student meal debt, stock school Care Closets with food, hygiene and clothing essentials, and help bring mobile food pantries to underserved, rural communities like Momence and Pembroke.
Across Kankakee County. In 2026 our Care Closets serve Kankakee, Bradley-Bourbonnais High School, Bradley Elementary, Bourbonnais Elementary, Manteno, St. Anne, Momence, Herscher, Pembroke Elementary, Grant Park and St. George, plus a YMCA summer program.
Yes. Let's Ketchup is a 501(c)(3) public charity, recognized by the IRS in January 2023. Donations are tax-deductible as the law allows.
Let's Ketchup is volunteer-run. We have no paid staff, which lets us give back as much as possible to the kids. You can meet our board on the Meet The Team page.
