SOCIAL JUSTICE
Hunger and Food Insecurity
According to Feed America’s Map the Meal Gap Study, one in seven people in Cook County will experience food insecurity this year. Hunger and food insecurity continues to plague our community and there has been a significant uptick during this pandemic. As families increasingly rely on food banks and community food pantries in Chicago, we remain dedicated to addressing the hunger and food insecurity issues many families experienced prior to the pandemic. We will work diligently with community partners to identify resources and advocate for access to healthy food options in high needs communities.
EDUCATION SERVICES
Tutoring and Diverse Learners Support
We believe students need appropriate resources and support for positive academic growth and social development. We are dedicated to doing so by meeting students where they are. Our education services are available to students virtually or in-person during after school hours and on Saturdays.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH

We understand there are challenges during these unprecedented times, but through cooperation and strict adherence to CDC guidelines and PPE, we believe we can facilitate progress in this area. We are preparing to introduce Painting on Polk, a weekly event held outdoors during the warmer spring and summer months. This event will give community residents of all ages access to a safe, fun and engaging activity.
