Multiple organizations have benefited from our efforts since the first Day of Cheerful Service in 2023!

2023 Morning

Heather Ridge Woods

Volunteers gathered at the site of Gavin’s Eagle Scout Project to  refresh wood chips on the walking path through the woods. We also applied a fresh coat of stain to the “Little” Free Library which was installed as part of his Eagle Project.

2023 Afternoon

Feed My Starving Children

Feed My Starving Children’s mission is simple. Help provide nutritious, low cost meals to children in parts of the world that need it the most. Volunteers assemble meal kits which are then shipped all around the world.

2024 Morning

Bernie’s Book Bank

Bernie’s Book Bank promotes literacy though providing books to children in underserved communities. Volunteers sort through donated books to prepare them for distribution.

2024 Afternoon

Feed My Starving Children

What can we say? Feed My Starving Children is an absolutely incredible organization to volunteer at! We always have a great time here, and so do all our friends who join us.

In 2024 we booked the entire session for our group!

In 2025, we gathered at the Grayslake Public Library and assembled 280 care packages for the United Way. These consisted of toiletries, lip balm, socks, water bottles, femine care products, candies, and literacy supplies. GoFundMe was used to raise funds for purchasing  care package supplies.

2025 Afternoon

Feed My Starving Children

We booked another complete session at FMSC for 2025. Not only did we cram the room full of volunteers, we also set a new site record for meals packed!

What will 2026 be like? Stay tuned for results after our Day of Cheerful Service in April!
