We have partnered with las Jefas of Somos Arte Chicago for the 2nd Annual Books and Backpacks Community Supply Drive on August 29th at the Boathouse Parking Lot.
We’re calling on the power of community again to bring together resources to serve families and students with school supplies for the 2021 school year!
We are bringing a collective of resources together for students and their families for this upcoming school year. Our goal is to service more by providing books, backpacks, supplies, haircuts, hot meals, activities, groceries, clothing and a day of fun.
