We're still living in gratitude and joy from last Sunday's Englewood Winterfest! âď¸ đ
Thank you to all our outstanding community members, families, volunteers and partners who helped make it a success! Our partners Imagine Englewood If... , Grow Greater Englewood , Teamwork Englewood, Metropolitan Family Services and our supporters Reva & David Logan Foundation LGIMA, Free Haus Chicago Hazel , Women Unite , SanJustins Kitchen
Collectively, we shared over 2,000 coats and accessories, 450 soups and hot chocolate, 150 fresh produce boxes, toys and holiday gifts, music and much more for free to our neighbors. Can't think of a better way to celebrate the holiday season than creating a space for us all to come together on the Peace Campus!

âA lot of people leaving prison say, âIâm going home.â But you donât have a home. Youâve been locked up three, four, five yearsâyou donât have a home,â said Mark Mitchell, Associate Director of Teamwork Englewood, who was also formerly incarcerated.
Without employment, housing, or resources, individuals who are released from prison often end up at homeless shelters or are rearrested. Thatâs why organizations like Teamwork Englewood work to mentor formerly incarcerated individuals through its reentry programs.

The CSCC hosted a media roundtable to talk about lessons learned on community safety as we mark the first year since our activation. Thank you to our guests from Institute for Nonviolence Chicago, Teamwork Englewood, Hustle Mommies, Beyond the Ball, and the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services who joined us and discussed how we work collectively to achieve sustainable violence reduction. We have a lot of work to do, but we are grateful for the partnership and the progress that weâve made in the last year.

One way to help our communities heal is by investing in places where people can work, live, shop and thrive. St. Bernard Hospital congratulates our newest neighbor, E. G. Woode, on the grand opening of their new business hub - home to four entrepreneurs of color. We also thank our fellow local partners, Alderman Stephanie D. Coleman - 16th Ward, Teamwork Englewood and Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, for their collective support of the project!
