WeGo Together for Kids is a recipient of a Daily Herald Neighbors in Need grant. Here's how it gathers other agencies to help the community.
With her husband's hours cut, Natali Ayala decided to check out the food pantry she had heard about through a school newsletter.
WeGo Together for Kids, formed in 2006, brings together more than 60 community agencies dedicated to serving West Chicago families. The group meets monthly to review needs and goals and to share data on the impact of various programs. "It's an exciting time," said Molly Beck Dean, who was hired as the agency's full-time director this fall.
"We're challenging our partners to think about how we are serving the families of these older students and helping prepare them for what happens after high school," she said. "It's fun," said Sven Axel Abasolo Holm, a 10-year-old from West Chicago whose mother is a visual artist with CAPE and teaches in the West Chicago program."We get to express ourselves."
