We were able to continue to work alongside our local partners to provide service to the Dolton community. Our longstanding partnerships with our brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Omicron Alpha Sigma Chapter, New Community Church, Moms 911, Dolton Park District, and Diekman Elementary School, helped us expand our reach and offer more valuable services to the community. We are proud to grow our new partnerships with Community Blood Center and South Holland Community Center
We hosted a wide range of events such as our annual health Fair where we provided gas and grocery cards, webinars on prostate and testicular cancer, mental health workshops, food pantry collections and donations, prematurity awareness presentations, and toy drives benefiting churches, community centers and schools in the Dolton area.
