At My Block My Hood My City, we are committed to building a better Chicago—one neighbor, one act of service, and one block at a time. We step up to do the work others won’t, in a way that no one else can. When our communities call, we answer, because we believe that fostering connections across Chicago makes our city stronger, healthier, and safer.
