In June, team members from Texas, New Mexico, and Montana joined us at our Chicago Headquarters to head over to our Blue Door Neighborhood Center in South Lawndale to prepare for an upcoming farmer’s market. Our centers host a monthly farmers market that provides free fresh produce to community members 🍓🍅 Before the event, our volunteers assembled bags and helped set up the space for a successful summer event! Thank you to our visitors and volunteers for contributing to our work in providing fresh and healthy food to our community members! 👏

Last night, we had a great conversation at our Blue Door Neighborhood Center in Morgan park discussing how years of systemic racism, unethical medical practices, and other societal systems of oppression have contributed to the trauma and mental health of Black Americans. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the dialogue.

We gathered at the Jackson Park for the 34th Annual Chosen Few House Music Festival! We provided Medicaid, Medicare, Blue Door Neighborhood Center, and Chicago Department of Family Services resources to thousands of attendees. American Red Cross joined us to give hands only CPR training. What a great example of organizations joining together for a day of great music, community building, and fun!
