Holiday Cheer is Good Year Round

Christmas in the Wards held a special event, bringing a little Christmas in April by helping families in need in time for Easter. The Uplifting Communities Spring Give Away was held on Saturday, April 12, at Kennedy King College in Englewood. The invitation only event served 250 families, and was in partnership with Southside Alderpersons, and U.S. Representative Raja Krishnmoorthi and featured giveaways including toddler shoes and socks, diapers and wipes, toys, Ralph Lauren clothing, Pepsi products and so much more. This event was supported by its sponsors, Amazon, Black Men United, Black Oat, ComEd, In His Hands Resource Center, Inc., My Block My Hood My City, Pepsi, S2 Grills and Walsh Construction. Christmas in the Wards founder Larry Huggins addressed the families and thanked the event sponsors, vendors and Alderpersons for their help in bringing the event to the community and sharing the meaning of giving back, which is the mission of Christmas in the Wards.
