Strengthening Communities Through Schools

We envision communities in which race or zip code no longer predict educational outcomes, where neighbors collaborate to ensure that all children receive what they need to reach their fullest potential.

Invest in Equitable Education for all Children

Get Involved

Join us in the fight for educational equity, one community at a time.

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!

Welcome to Our House! On Wednesday, Eagles and their families gathered at Neal Math & Science Academy to celebrate school pride. They enjoyed NMSA themed bingo and life-sized Connect-4, and had a blast crafting bracelets, magnets, and slime. Everyone was treated to a delicious pasta dinner, complete with homemade desserts from our partners at @First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest. As another special treat, NMSA students took home a homework supply kit and a math card game kit, assembled by volunteers from Discover Financial Services. Thank you to everyone who made this incredible event possible. Go Eagles!

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.
