‍Peace In The Streets Summer Block Party & Community Resource Fair Comes to North Lawndale

Witherite Law Group and 1-800-TruckWreck joined community partners for the Peace In The Streets Summer Block Party & Community Resource Fair in North Lawndale. The free community event brought residents together for an afternoon focused on family activities, local resources and neighborhood connection.

Held at the North Lawndale Employment Network campus at 1111 South Homan Avenue, the event was supported by iHeartMedia Chicago's 107.5 WGCI and the North Lawndale Employment Network. The summer block party provided an opportunity for residents and families to connect with community organizations while enjoying activities in their neighborhood.

Peace In The Streets is part of a broader Chicago community initiative. The program was created in 2017 by iHeartMedia Chicago and the 107.5 WGCI-FM team to support underserved communities and connect neighborhoods with their local broadcast stations.

Over the years, Peace In The Streets events have brought together local organizations, businesses and residents through a combination of community resources and family activities. Other events in the series have featured music, food, games, giveaways and access to local programs and services.

Witherite Law Group and 1-800-TruckWreck have continued to participate in Peace In The Streets events alongside WGCI and community organizations in Chicago. Those partnerships have created additional opportunities to connect residents with resources while providing family-friendly activities in neighborhoods including North Lawndale.

The North Lawndale event reflected that community-focused approach by bringing local residents and organizations together in one location. Through partnerships with organizations such as the North Lawndale Employment Network and iHeartMedia Chicago, Peace In The Streets continues to provide opportunities for community connection and access to local resources.
