  • Google Calendar ICS

Kaneland School District, in partnership with the Kaneland Education Association (KEA) and the Support Professionals' Education Association of Kaneland (SPEAK), is excited to launch our Spread the Love Food Drive to support families in our community who may be experiencing food insecurity.

Food Collection Period: Monday, January 12 - Wednesday, February 4, 2026

Each school and/or grade level will collect specific items from our donation list. The list is below and attached here.  Food Donations can be dropped off at any Kaneland School location during the collection period.

If you would like to make a monetary donation instead of providing food items, you can contribute through the Kaneland Foundation at https://app.dvforms.net/api/dv/jk53rz

All funds will go directly toward purchasing food and essential household items for families in need.  Your generosity makes a tremendous difference, and we are grateful for any contribution you are able to make.

Thank you for helping us Spread the Love and support our Kaneland community.
