We were super excited about resuming our tradition of “gathering for good” to benefit the Highland Park/Highwood community. But we have been monitoring COVID developments closely and, with everyone’s safety and health being our top priority, we feel this is not the right time to host a large indoor gathering. We have therefore made the difficult decision to cancel our September 24th event at Binny’s.

The Highland Park Community Foundation was proud to participate in the 14th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service presented by the City of Highland Park and Park District of Highland Park. We were inspired by all the creative and thoughtful service projects sponsored by agencies in our community, including many of our grant recipients.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the HPCF table to assemble treat bags for our first responders. Each bag contained a granola bar, beef jerky, gum, hand sanitizer, lip balm, and tissues as well as a handwritten note and drawing created by a child from our community. Thanks to your help, we’re ready to deliver 75 “Treats for the Streets” to our police officers, firefighters, and public works personnel for all they do to ensure our safety and well-being.
