Celebrate Highwood and Family Service of Lake County Food Distribution
Support Celebrate Highwood
Our festivals may be on hold this year, but we are working hard to help our neighbors. Thanks to YOU and all of your incredible donations to Family Service of Lake County – Nuestro Center, we were able to feed 200 families grocery bags filled with pork, rice, beans, masa, tortillas, potatoes, fruits, veggies and eggs. It was impactful and achieved with YOUR generosity.
Let’s keep it going! Please continue to donate so we can continue to help our community and our friends.
Special thanks to BellaRu Catering and Mis Dos Magos for the food.
Families Helping Families Chicagoland provided the Summer Fun Bags, Fill a Heart 4 Kids provided toiletries & diapers. Windy City Linen and Greco and Sons Inc, Bartlett Illinois for the trucks. Without you we wouldn’t have gotten there! Thank you Rick Roshto for the photos and Coffee Cup Productions for the video.

Celebrate Highwood's Latest News from Our Facebook Page
Hometown Gems debut episode was all things Celebrate Highwood! The episode featured Highwood's own Tala Coffee Roasters - Highwood Cafe as well as Highwood based real estate broker Mada Ugolini-Hitchmough/Mada Hitchmough Homes. Thanks Matt Feddermann at Real Snap Media for featuring Highwood on the new show!
My husband and I lived in Highwood for 26 years, and I will always love it. We moved in 2019 in search of a better climate, but if I could pick Highwood up and plop it down in Texas, I absolutely would!
Great job Matt Feddermann!
