Together, We Can Stop Violence & Spark Change
We know that lasting change doesn’t happen alone. It takes schools, churches, block clubs, health clinics, businesses, and neighbors working side by side. Partnerships are the backbone of our work—helping us expand our reach, provide resources, and create safer spaces across Chicago’s communities.

Community & Outreach Events
Back 2 School Drives
Our Back 2 School Drives make sure every child starts the school year equipped and ready to succeed. By providing backpacks, school supplies, and other essentials, we relieve the financial stress on families and send a clear message to youth that their education matters. These events also connect families to community resources, building a supportive foundation for the academic year ahead.
Peace Walks & Unity Marches
Peace Walks and Unity Marches bring residents together to stand against violence and promote healing in our neighborhoods. These gatherings create powerful moments of solidarity, where community members, leaders, and youth walk side by side to show that peace is possible and unity is stronger than division. They inspire hope, raise awareness, and remind us that lasting change starts when we move forward together.

When we unite our strengths—whether through resources, expertise, or simply standing together—we multiply our impact and open new doors of opportunity for those we serve. Every partnership becomes more than collaboration; it becomes a shared commitment to bring safety, hope, and healing to every block.”
