The Mundy Project

We are Mundelein High School* students who want to give back to our community. Given the recent pandemic, many in our community are struggling more than ever with food insecurity. It is our goal to raise awareness and resources to help those families. We will be using all money raised to buy food and supplies to donate for food boxes for Mundelein area families in need (see additional info below). Every dollar counts so please donate as much as possible. Thank you for your support!


Information related to the food boxes from District 120 - 

“Mundelein School Districts 75 and 120 have teamed up to provide food boxes for [75+] families in need [in addition to school lunches - that information may be found below]... Thanks to the generous donations of those in our community, the districts have been able to provide two deliveries to families with children in the Mundelein and neighboring school districts of 73, 75, 76, 79, and 120. The next delivery is scheduled for April 5. Donations are needed for this upcoming distribution date.  Items needed include:
