The rst par t of the Madison Street project will be the Sankofa Wellness Center

By JESSIC A MORDACQ Staff Reporter

Public of ficials, partners, funders and nearly 200 others attended the Sankofa Wellness Center groundbreaking Sept. 16 in West Garfield Park.

The Sankofa Wellness Center at 4305 W. Madison St. is the first part of the larger Sankofa Wellness Village Its construction aims to improve the health of Garfield Park residents, who on average live 13 years less than those in Chicago’s Loop five miles east, according to of ficials

“Garfield Park is a beacon of light and resiliency, despite having the lowest life expectancy in the re gion,” said Ayesha Jaco, executive director of hospital collaborative West Side United. “We believe that Garfield Park, and the entire re gion, has the right to inherit communities that will increase healthcare access, jobs and career pathways that generate wealth, small business capital and support that lead to stronger and new businesses like Fillmore Linen.”

Expected to be completed by the f all of 2025, the Sankofa Wellness Center — in addition to

BREAK CYCLES TO BUILD FUTURES

Chance the Rapper buys lunch for West Side students

Raising Cane’s donated $100K to SocialWorks, a nonpro t that empowers local youth

By ATAVIA REED Contributing Reporter

Dozens of Michele Clark High School seniors gathered near their new state-of-the-art football field earlier this month for a special surprise: hot lunch from Raising Cane’s served by Chance the Rapper.

The South Side rapper teamed up with Raising Cane’s to serve two-piece chicken finger combos from a food truck. Inside the principal’s office, Chance shared another treat over the intercom.

“There is no homework tonight,” Chance said. “This has already been signed off by Principal Anderson and now by Principal Chance the Rapper.”

Raising Cane’s donated $100,000 to SocialWorks Thursday to aid the nonprofit’s mission to empower young people through the performing and literary arts, education and civic engagement. Chance founded SocialWorks in 2016 with friends Justin Cunningham and Essence Smith.

Chance stopped by the chicken chain’s Wrigleyville shop, 3700 N. Clark St., to accept the donation and serve meals to customers before visiting the West Side school.

Michele Clark High School, 5101 W. Harrison St., is one of 51 local schools the rapper supports through his nonprofit “This $100,000 donation to SocialWorks will help Chance continue empowering Chicago youth and providing them with opportunities to thrive,” said Todd Graves, CEO of Raising Cane’s. “Chance and his team have made such a positive impact in the community, and I’m looking forward to seeing all the lives he continues to change through SocialWorks.”

Initiatives at SocialWorks like the New Chance: Arts & Literature Fund and the Kids of the Kingdom summer camp “have been a great connector and community builder,” Chance said in a brief interview.

SocialWorks partnered with Michele Clark in 2019 to launch My State of Mind, a program that prioritizes mental health wellness The goal is to continue expanding on those existing programs, Chance said. Donations, both small and large, help make that possible.

“I think the fact that Raising Cane’s was able to see SocialWorks and say, ‘We want to collaborate and bring a platform to what you guys are doing,’ is dope,” Chance said. “It’s also them doing their part.”

Students at Michele Clark have been participating in Good Looking Out, a workshop that promotes mental health wellness and teaches students how to help each other, Principal Charles Anderson said. September is Suicide Awareness Month.

Chance’s food truck visit was “amazing” and will hopefully convey to students that there are people who care about them, Anderson said.

“I’m hoping they’ll see that they’re not alone,” Anderson said. “A lot of times, when people are experiencing suicidal thoughts or having a mental health crisis, they feel isolated like no one cares,” Anderson said. “I’m hoping the message gets across that people care and we’re here with you.”

The $100,000 donation from Raising Cane’s comes days after the release of the Grammy Award-winning rapper’s newest single, “3333.” The song, which he said was “recorded and dropped maybe a day later,” intimately reveals how the rapper sold 3,333 tickets at the Minnesota State Fair — a venue that can hold 14,000 people.

Seeing people lined up early in the mor ning to greet him outside the Wrigleyville

restaurant was “a reminder of people supporting me,” Chance said.

“I feel like when you do take those chances to live in your purpose and be brave, good things come,” Chance said. “The fact that this [donation] is coming right after is a huge blessing to SocialWorks. I think it’s a reminder of the community that we’ve been building and what we’re building around. It’s a testament to me, but also to Raising Cane’s as a patron and supporter of SocialWorks, and a huge signal that SocialWorks is doing great things.”

Earlier this year, Chance hosted a spring concert at the Ramova Theatre in Bridgeport to raise funds for his nonprofit.

Chance, Jennifer Hudson and Quincy Jones were among the investors and coowners who gave the for mer movie house a $30 million makeover and transfor med it into an 1,800-capacity concert hall and events space.

One of the South Side rapper’s dreams is to bring events other than concerts to the venue hall, he said.

“In ter ms of sound, house lighting [and] the overall feel and aesthetic of the theater, to me, it’s the best room to play for that size for 1,800 people,” Chance said. “I think it could be configured in a lot of different ways, from traditional concerts, all the way over to comedy or theatrical shows.”

Public o cials help break ground on the Sankofa Wellness Center, the rst part of the Sankofa Wellness Village.

providing a health center with primary medical, behavioral, dental and re productive care — will house a gym, credit union, programs for childhood development and health education, mental health services and training for health care workers.

“This investment along the Madison corridor is long overdue,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said at the groundbreaking. “This area once thrived with businesses and activity, and today’s groundbreaking is just the beginning of a larger revitalization.”

Other public officials attended the groundbreaking, along with Sankofa Wellness Center’s partners Erie Family Health Centers, Rush University System for Health, and the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago. Many of those who spoke praised the community ef fort that it took to get the Sankofa Wellness Village of f the ground.

“This center is a powerful symbol of what community-led projects can achieve when we bring together all of our partners,” Johnson said.

“To have this big collaboration of public, private, nonprofits, community-led — the vision that’s being implemented here just shows how powerful we are and how much we need each other,” said State Senator Lakeisa Collins.

The Sankofa Wellness Center was largely funded by the Pritzker Traubert Foundation, which gave $10 million to the wellness center’s ownership team: the West Garfield Park Rite to Wellness Collaborative, which includes several West Side groups, plus

the Community Builders and MAAFA Redemption Project.

At the groundbreaking, Johnson said the City of Chicago is investing over $7 million in the Sankofa Wellness Village

The 50,000-square-foot Sankofa Wellness Village will be more than just the Sankofa Wellness Center. It also aims to address the root causes of the health disparity in Garfield Park by including recreation services, financial and business support, plus access to the arts and healthy food.

About $8 million of the Pritzker Traubert Foundation’s donation will go toward the Sankofa Wellness Center. The rest will fund other portions of a larger Sankofa Wellness Village. These include the MAAFA Center for Arts and Activism — a spot for workforce development and arts inside a renovated New Mount Missionary Baptist Church — a business incubator, and the Community Grocer Initiative, which is a series of pop-up markets.

“Today is the beginning of the realization of a long-held dream and vision for this community,” said Illinois Senate President Don Harmon. “A community with better health outcomes when people are able to easily access care, exercise, and to purchase healthy food. A community with a vibrant art scene, creating performance opportunities for residents and drawing visitors from other neighborhoods. A community that trains up young leaders, preparing them for successful careers.”

“West Garfield Park is an amazing community,” said Ald. Jason Ervin of the 28th Ward, which covers most of Garfield Park “While it has not had the resources that others have had, our time is now.”

“West Garfield Park is on the move,” Ald. Ervin added. “West Garfield Park will continue to rise.”

Time to organize those pictures

If you’re like most of us, one of your biggest weaknesses is taking tons of pictures and keeping them on our cellphone. However, if one doesn’t download the pictures to their laptop or desktop, and the phone is either lost, damaged or stolen, the memories are lost forever.

Some folks have, and pay for, cloud storage. I think I have a certain amount of free cloud storage, but every time the phone tries to get me to buy more, I’m so cheap I don’t wanna pay for it. I’ve never read all the fine print that I agreed to when I got the phone and the photo storage situation, but sometimes I feel like these companies are holding my pictures hostage. So I came up with an idea on how to get

JONES

my memories back Facebook has a photo album option. I named the album ‘Grandkids’ and it’s only viewable by me and my daughter.

Now as those photographic memories show up from the cloud, I share them to the Facebook album. A lot of the pictures I took of the grandkids, my daughter had never seen. Especially the ones I took when I was responsible for taking the kids to cer tain daytime activities. Others are pictures I took when I was on granny duty.

Some of my Facebook photo albums are visible to the public while others are restricted. I really enjoy that feature. I can control who can look at what. I have certain albums that are only visible to

me. Some of my albums are labeled for specific items. I enjoy having the ability to look at photo graphic memories of a lot of my projects. I have documented images of my front yard restore — from when it was totally messed up because of so much work I had done, to how I got it looking

almost the way I want. Another advantage of organizing the pictures, is that it makes it easier to find a specific one. I usually spend 10-15 minutes a day organizing my pictures. It’s a small amount of time to pay to be able to have such memories easily recovered.

Ald. Chris Taliaferro calls city’s budget de cit ‘di cult and challenging’

By HECTOR CERVANTES

Contributing Reporter

Alderman Chris Taliafer ro told residents gathered at Rutherford Sayre Fieldhouse for the 29th Ward meeting last week that the city’s budget deficit is “very difficult and challenging to take.”

“As many of you have already heard, we are looking at a very, very substantial deficit in the city of $1.2 billion,” Taliaferro said. “I won’t speculate on what the mayor’s proposals are, but he’s already put it out there to the public one of the cutbacks that he’ doing is on hiring.”

At the community meeting, where issues and initiatives were discussed to strengthen local eng ment, Taliaferro discussed Chicago’s budget deficit

According to Budget Di rector Annette Guzman estimates, the city’s projected budget deficit for fiscal 2024 is $222.9 million, and the forecast is no better for fisca year 2025, when the deficit is expected to balloon to $982. million. The deficits are be ing driven by rising personnel, pension and contractual costs, officials said.

“Some of the criticism Johnson received was that the hiring freeze did not account for the need for first responders,”

Taliafer ro said. “If we go a year or even a short period of time without hiring first responders, we’re going to have a deficit and an impact.”

“We lose on average about 30 to 40 police officers a month,” Taliafer ro added.

“If that goes on month after month after month, and we’re not rehiring, we lose the ability to respond adequately and in a timely manner,”

“The mayor’s budget address is expected to outline further measures to handle the budget deficit, with additional updates on the impact of the hiring freeze and potential cutbacks,” Taliaferro said.

Mayor Brandon Johnson is expected to address the city’s $1.2 billion budget deficit in his upcoming budget address, slated for the first two weeks of October.

So far, city officials have confirmed that the mayor issued an executive order to halt hiring in an attempt to manage the shortfall. The hiring freeze, however, will not apply to certain critical departments, including police, fire, and paramedic services.

In response to these concerns, the mayor has exempted first responders, including police officers, paramedics, and firefighters, from the freeze

It will, however, affect other city departments.

“The freeze does affect everyone else,” Taliafer ro said.

Despite the freeze, some wards have managed to get key personnel onboard due to pre-existing hiring processes.

“We were for tunate to be able to get a ward superintendent because our ward suit had already been in the process when the freeze went into effect,” he added.

Volunteers help Habilitative Systems with renovations

A grant partially funded the rehabilitation of the ser agenc y’s headquar ters which will reopen its rst oor this year

By JESSICA MORDACQ Staff Reporter

Earlier this month, more than 60 v helped renovate Habilitative Systems, In headquarters in West Garfield Park, where the agency offers health and human services to the community.

That Saturday morning and afternoon, unteers installed flooring, a new outdoor picnic tables and surrounding landscaping. T hey also striped the parking lot and helped in a large paint-by-numbers mural.

T hese ef for ts nearly wrapped up about a y of renovations to Habilitative Systems’ floor, which houses the inte grated employment center where people with developmental disabilities work on light manufacturing assembly and simulated training.

Sealed proposals, endorsed as above, will be submitted back to the District via an electronic upload to the Bonfire Portal only, from the date of the Invitation to Bid, up to 11:00 A.M. (Chicago time), on the bid opening date, and will be opened publicly as described in the Invitation to Bid by the Director of Procurement and

“With this renovated space, it’s going to enable us to attract more contracts, more business and create more employment opportunities for people with disabilities,” said Donald Dew, president and CEO of Habilitative Systems, Inc. He added that the renovations will also help Habilitative Systems expand other services, like those for people with severe mental illnesses or substance use disorders

T he renovations that took place Sept. 14 were funded by a $250,000 grant from Re public Services Charitable Foundation. The grant is a part of Re public Services’ National Neighborhood Promise Program, which aims to uplift communities through volunteer projects and financial donations.

Rebuilding To gether Metro Chicago received that grant, one of 15 nonprofits across the United States that were awarded grants this year. Rebuilding To gether allocated the grant money to renovate Habilitative Systems

“Republic Services is a leader in the environmental services industry, and our vision is to partner with customers to create a more sustainable world,” said Joe Scaglione, general manager at Re public Services of Chicago. “This

event really embodied that because it’s a way for us all to come together and revitalize an area of the community where we live and work.”

Wrapping renovations

Last year, Habilitative Systems received a congressional earmark from Congressman Danny Davis, which funded the start of rehabilitation ef for ts at the organization’s headquarters, which is over 100 years old, according to Dew.

In 2023, Habilitative Systems began renovating its headquarters’ front lobby. The organization also put in an accessible entrance.

More recently, with the $250,000 grant, Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago brought in contractors to renovate three treatment rooms on the first floor of Habilitative Systems’ headquarters. Volunteers helped install new flooring, build outdoor accessories, and fill in a mural designed by Minnesota-based Shane Anderson, with whom Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago has partnered with on previous projects.

“It’s got a lot of the things that culturally tie that organization together and really embodies what they stand for,” Scaglione said about the mural, which is about 48 feet wide and 10 feet tall. “When folks come up on that floor and they see

this representation, I think it will inspire them.”

Now, Habilitative Systems is waiting on a permit to put in an elevator and finishing updates to first-floor restrooms. Dew said he hopes the building’s first floor will be fully renovated by late November or early December.

T he first floor has b een relative ly closed of f during construction. Those who accessed firs t floor services have b een relocated to the building’s downstairs cafeteria area.

“It is definitely a fantastic collaboration of folks coming together, trying to create more opportunities for people with disabilities,” Dew said of the renovations.

“I think that it ’s b een great how we ’ve seen a lot of private-public partnerships reinvesting in the West Side of Chicag o, ” Scaglione said.

“A nd I think that will continu e. ” Including the $250,000 grant to renovate Habilitative Systems, since 2018, Republic Services has donated over $1 million through 23 grants throughout Chicago, impacting more than 1.5 million lives.

“I couldn’t imagine a better partner to celebrate that milestone than Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago and Habilitative Systems, Inc,” Scaglione said.

Walk-Through will be held on Tuesday, October 8, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. CT at the 95th St. Pumping Station, 9515 S Baltimore Ave, Chicago, IL 60617.
