Giving Tuesday 2024 - Family Care Closet
An estimated 9.9% of individuals in Lake County suffer from food insecurity. That’s 70,000 neighbors who do not have access to sufficient food. To help combat this, North Chicago Community Partners’ school-based food pantry, the Family Care Closet (FCC), provides a safe and respectful place for families to “shop” twice a month. The FCC is stocked with non-perishable food items, household and hygiene items, and even enrichment activities for students.
