Mark your calendars for December 3rd! Giving Tuesday falls on the first Tuesday of December this year, and our goal is to raise $15,000 for our school-based food pantry, the Family Care Closet (FCC). In Lake County, 17,060 children face food insecurity and lack adequate access to food. To help combat this, North Chicago Community Partners’ Family Care Closet offers a safe and respectful place for families to “shop” twice a month. It is stocked with non-perishable food items, household and hygiene items, and even books and enrichment activities for students. Help us kick start our fundraising by donating today and the first $10,000 will be matched by an anonymous family foundation!

As of 2022, 17,060 children in Lake County lived in food-insecure households, nearly double the number from the previous year. North Chicago faces even higher rates, making it difficult for hungry students to focus on learning.

This Giving Tuesday, we are raising funds for our school-based food pantry, the Family Care Closet (FCC). NCCP follows the Community School Model, which provides comprehensive support for the whole child, beyond just academic assistance. By offering free food in a safe and respectful environment, we are tackling food insecurity and removing students’ barriers to education. Together, we can ensure every student has access to the food they need.
