Lake County Sheriff’s Office partners with Zakat Foundation

Event to provide warm meals for families who are in need

Lake County Sheriff John Idleburg has been appointed to the Illinois Law Enforcement Medal of Honor Committee.

WAUKEGAN – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with Zakat Foundation of America, United Giving Hope and DoorDash to provide warm meals for families who are in need during the Feel the Hunger to Do Good initiative.

The event will take place at 4 p.m. May 7 in the parking lot of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office headquarters. Volunteers will be on hand to distribute warm meals to individuals and families who struggle to keep food on the table, including the homeless population.

“A hot meal is a luxury not every member of our community is able to have,” Sheriff John Idleburg said. “I welcome any opportunity to partner with others to give to those who need it the most. I am so thankful Zakat Foundation of American, DoorDash and United Giving Hope made it possible to bring this event to Waukegan.”
