YOU CAN HELP BRING LIGHT, HOPE, and TRANSFORMATION TO THE WEST SIDE OF CHICAGO!
Please support the following current initiatives:
Chicago Westside and Southside Police & Youth Sports Conference
This innovative and very popular westside (and soon-to-be southside) community initiative offers hundreds of children ages 8-14 in Austin, Garfield Park, and North Lawndale the opportunity to play free sports coached by police officers, nonprofit partners and the faith-based community. Currently, baseball, archery, and basketball are offered. We hope to add additional sports in 2023 as well as expanding into the Englewood and Roseland communities. Interested in coaching or showing up to cheer the players on? Sign up here
15th District Police Youth Archery
Chicago Westside Archery is ready to expand from one center to three! Please help us equip two additional archery ranges as well as certify 3 more instructors through Team USA. If you've always wanted to try archery, and enjoy mentoring kids, sign up here
Care and Resource Center
We provide free or very low cost furniture, some grocery items and clothing through our Care and Resource Center. As we serve our student athletes, we become aware of some of the challenges they and their families face. Currently, items can be picked up on Sundays at 12pm by appointment at Chicago West Bible Church located at 5916 W Lake Street in the Austin community. If you would like to help in the center, or want to donate new or very lightly used items, email Stephanie here
Operations Support
As we continue to expand and administer youth sports and other programs, we want to partner with individuals and families from our community. Although currently we are a volunteer staff, as we contract people from the community to help, it would be nice to pay a small amount for their efforts.
