Helping Beyond Meadowview 

On November 1, 2025, the Township shared that its shelves were completely empty. In true Grayslake spirit, the community rallied. Local businesses, families, and organizations stepped up and fully restocked the pantry within three days, allowing it to reopen and even extend hours to meet the need.

To help sustain that momentum, CCSD 46 and the Community Engagement Committee organized a districtwide collection. Across our schools, students and staff donated hundreds of items to keep the pantry stocked.

Here at Meadowview, the Student Council collected, counted, and delivered the donations on November 21, contributing hundreds of food and household essentials.

Thanks to this generosity, more than 200 local families are able to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal this year — a truly inspiring reminder that ongoing support makes a meaningful difference.

This fall marked our first year partnering with Avon Township to support their annual Costume Drive, helping provide Halloween costumes to children in need throughout our community.

By incorporating the drive into Fall Fest, Meadowview families donated dozens of costumes — spreading joy and imagination to kids across the area.
