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.

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.

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!

United Way of Lake County
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.
