Winter Gear Drive with South Shore Drill Team and 20 Community Orgs on CBS Chicago!


We were thrilled to join our founding partner, South Shore Drill Team, and over 20 community organizations in Greater Grand Crossing well as donor families from partner schools like Orrington Elementary in Evanston led by Kindergarten teacher Jory Mangurten who are helping ensure youth in our community stay warm this winter with new jackets, hats, scarves, and mittens!

Through your generous donations, we helped provide 300 youth and counting with new coats and winter gear! In addition to resources being offered to families by organizations like Operation Neighborhood Safety, UChicago Medicine, Urban Male Network, and others our community partners provided toys for all the children, raffled off numerous big gifts like bikes, served hot chocolate and treats while listening to the smooth sounds of Jus’tez.
