UCAN was thrilled to support Senator Lakesia Collins' Mother's Day Block Party for a sixth year in a row! After proudly hosting for five years, the celebration outgrew our North Lawndale campus and was held at Douglass Park on Saturday, May 9th.
This incredible event brought together over 100 community partners to honor mothers and female caregivers and uplift families.
