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

North Chicago Community Partners (NCCP) uses a holistic approach to bridge the opportunity gap and support children in North Chicago by leveraging resources from within and around the neighborhood.

Earlier this week, Discover Personal Loans/Discover Home Loans division had their holiday party, which offered employees an opportunity to get involved with an NCCP kit-build for the students and families of North Chicago. Approximately 130 volunteers dedicated 90 minutes of their time to pack kits with NCCP. In total, they assembled 300 “Cocoa in a Jar” kits for teachers and 40 “Cocoa and Cuddles” kits for students and families, which included a no-sew fleece blanket, hot cocoa mix, a snowman craft, and a winter-themed book.

The cold weather is rolling in, and this season we’ve already had over 60 requests for student coats. Thanks to a donation of 80+ coats from our friends at the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Rotary Club, we’ve been able to fill every request! These coats will be distributed through our CARES program, which provides D187 students with items that they may need, as well as through our Family Care Closet, which operates out of North Chicago Community High School. A huge “Thank You!” goes out to the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Rotary Club for their generosity & support. Thank you for helping us keep families warm this winter season! #wearenccp #coatdonations #donateforgood #rotaryclub #wintercoats #northchicago #lakeforest #lakebluff #communitycare #stayingwarm
