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, scho​ols, churches, healthcare providers, and faith-based​ and community organizations to address local issues and ne​e​ds.


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 possibl​e by working on several local issue areas such as safety​ and resource accessibil​i​ty.


This event will bring more visibility to our hyper-local servi​ces, partners, and sponsors that are dedicated to healthy​ and peaceful initiatives in our communit​ies.
