Feed15

Feed15 is a Community Consolidated School District 15 initiative dedicated to combating food insecurity among its students.

The program aims to ensure that the nearly 4,000 students in the district who face food insecurity have access to nutritious meals when school is not in session, including evenings and weekends.

The initiative strengthens several critical support systems within the district: 

• Weekend Meal Support: Partners with programs like Blessings in a Backpack to provide food for students to take home over the weekend.
• School Food Pantries: Supports the maintenance and operation of food pantries located directly within District 15 schools.
• Emergency Assistance: Provides immediate food support for families facing unexpected financial or personal challenges.
• Extended Access: Focuses on bridging the gap during times when school-provided breakfast and lunch programs are unavailable.

Feed15 is supported
through various community
fundraising efforts and partnerships 

• Collaborative Efforts: The program operates in collaboration with the Northwest Suburban Council PTA/PTSA to raise funds and awareness.
   
• 80th Anniversary Gala: To support our commitment to feeding children, District 15 hosted its 80th Anniversary Gala on April 10, 2026, at Cotillion Banquets in Palatine. This special evening brought together families, educators, alumni, community partners, and local businesses as we celebrated 80 years of educating students while raising critical funds to support students experiencing food insecurity. We welcomed support in several ways, including corporate sponsorships, table purchases, and in-kind donations for our silent auction and raffle.

• Donations: Community members can partner with D15 by donating funds or gift cards to help offset costs for families in need.
  • We invite you to consider partnering with us to help ensure that students in our community have reliable access to nutritious food.
