Mundelein, IL – The Mundelein After School Coalition (MASC) has kicked off its annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive, collecting nonperishable food items to help local families in need this holiday season. Donations will be accepted through November 18, 2025, at several community drop-off locations.
According to the Mundelein Police Department, donation boxes are available at the police station as well as Carl Sandburg, West Oak, and Fremont Middle Schools. The collected goods will be packaged into baskets and distributed along with a Thanksgiving turkey to Mundelein-area families.
Suggested donation items include boxed desserts, reusable grocery bags, canned cream of mushroom soup, packaged gravy, macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and canned green beans. Community members can scan the QR code provided by the Mundelein Police Department or contact Officer Dunn at Rdunn@mundelein.org for a full list and details.
