Yesterday, Still I Rise proudly hosted another impactful Community Giveaway through our Outreach and Disaster Relief initiative, bringing hope, support, and essential resources to families and individuals throughout the community.

Held on the sidewalk of RE/MAX in Kankakee, community members came together to receive essentials including new and gently used clothing for men, women, and children, baby clothing, socks, underwear, feminine hygiene products, household items, non-perishable foods, toys, beverages, and more. Youth attendees also enjoyed freeze pops as a part of the day’s outreach.

More than just distributing items, the event represented unity, compassion, and the power of community support. We are grateful to every sponsor, volunteer, donor, supporter, and community member who helped make this giveaway a success. Because of you, families and individuals were reminded that they are not alone and that together, we continue to rise stronger.

Still I Rise had an incredible time serving students at Edison Elementary School and Kennedy Middle School by providing life-size Mother’s Day cards for students to personalize and present to their parents.

The experience became even more special as Still I Rise Operations Manager and professional fine artist Aaron Robinson led an engaging art workshop, where students enthusiastically participated in a live drawing session that inspired creativity, self-expression and happiness.
