Info
Last year, the Peace and Wellness Coalition hosted its first Wellness Fair in Chicago Lawn by bringing together various stakeholders from the south side of Chicago to address the needs of our community.
This coalition was first convened in October of 2022, with the guidance of the Southwest Organizing Project (SWOP), to collaborate with city departments, elected officials, schools, churches, healthcare providers, and faith-based and community organizations to address local issues and needs.
The coalition’s purpose is to collaborate with Chicago Lawn stakeholders to develop initiatives that promote, increase, and sustain peace and wellness across Chicago Lawn and surrounding communities. We make this vision possible by working on several local issue areas such as safety and resource accessibility.
This event will bring more visibility to our hyper-local services, partners, and sponsors that are dedicated to healthy and peaceful initiatives in our communities.
