On October 20, 2024, School Districts 65, 67, and 115 came together once again to host the annual Great Full Market at Beacon Place in Waukegan. This free farmers market and family festival provided residents with access to fresh produce, dry goods, and other pantry staples. Attendees enjoyed hot chocolate, churros, and family-friendly activities like Lotería, face painting, and crafts, with support from students of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff.

“We continue to host the Great Full Market because food insecurity remains a critical issue in Lake County,” said Dr. Matthew Montgomery, Superintendent of the Lake Forest Schools . “Our students and staff are committed to making a positive impact by helping families access fresh, nutritious food.”

Thank you to our generous community for funding this entire event. Your donations made it possible to support families at Beacon Place, with more than 60 student and family volunteers distributing over 2 tons of fresh produce in 2024.
