Food Distribution Events – The COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on food insecurity in our neighborhoods. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have distributed over 150,000 pounds of food to families in need through partnerships with Immanuel Lutheran Church, World Vision, Rainbow Push Coalition, CBS Food Depository, Ebenezer CRC, Vida Abundante, and United Way.

Vaccine distribution and education events – Health, education, and income disparities in our community have presented unique challenges in persuading Berwyn and Cicero residents to get their Covid 19 vaccine. Youth Crossroads, which is a trusted resource in the community, plays a leading role in providing residents with accurate and reliable information about vaccines and overcoming widespread misinformation.
YC also hosts monthly vaccination events that serves 1st and 2nd generation populations that are hard for healthcare workers to reach.
