Some wintry scenes from our Peace House today! Last week, we officially passed 40k meals delivered—in large part because of the incredible support we’ve received from all over Chicago and our neighbors who brave the weather to and show up to get these meals out

I'm not great about posting "my" stuff on LinkedIn, but as I've gotten further in my career I realize that any media opportunities that I get are just chances to talk about the work that I care about so deeply. So please check out…https://t.co/Agv6QV8DQG https://t.co/kXXBPnx1mb

For us, our core value of IF IN DOUBT LOVE means prioritizing the safety of our neighbors, children, and staff. We want your voice to make sure our Peace Campus is a place of safety, joy, and love. Please join us next Wednesday for a community safety forum

About 15% of the people who come to @iGrowChi don’t have #cleanwater. About 15% didn’t sleep in a bed last night. Nearly three-quarters are #unemployed. That is not just, nor does it make for a peaceful existence. That is #violence.

We saw mothers, security guards, an elder whose grandkid is enrolled in our fall learning program — it was lovely to connect with people even for just a little bit and talk to people about the work that we’re doing and the resources that are available for them.

[I Grow Chicago @iGrowChi]

This morning, our community outreach manager and cultural activism coordinator was out and about handing out fliers, cleaning supplies, and masks around West Englewood.

[I Grow Chicago @iGrowChi]

One of the first people that we met was a drummer who pulled his instrument out from his car and treated us to a wonderful performance.

[I Grow Chicago @iGrowChi]

Tomorrow we will be hosting our first of five Vote Your Voice events! Come through to learn what’s on the ballot, why voting matters and who the candidates are. Free food, PPE and supplies will be available

[I Grow Chicago @iGrowChi]

CALL FOR SUPPORT: This pandemic is not over; our interdependence is as real as ever, and we can not ignore it! What our community lacks are basic necessities to keep safe and keep going during these times, help us provide them!

[I Grow Chicago @iGrowChi]

From who we are employing to the programs we are providing, we are investing in the potential and future of this community.

[I Grow Chicago @iGrowChi]

How any of us spend our money reflects what we support and is an investment in different futures. So, we want to share how we have allocated our budget so far in 2020.

[I Grow Chicago @iGrowChi]

We intentionally choose to put our money into places where the city has missed and where historically money has been pulled out more often than invested in.
