5300 Blk W Ferdinand Block Club
The 5300 Blk W Ferdinand Block Club will be hosting a "Movie On The Block" event tentatively August 20th, 2023. This event will be hosted during the August gap that runs from August 6th- August 21st. We plan to use funds for the event for: *Movie Supplies ( projector, projector screen) *generator * food ( Popcorn, popcorn maker, containers, nacho chips, cheese, peppers etc) *warmers * snacks (candy, chips, fruit) * drinks (Various fruit juices, sodas and water) * cleaning supplies * bug repellent * lights ( lanters and string lights) * decorations * tables *blankets *pillows * chairs * speaker * flyers etc.. The 5300 Block of Ferdinand sits east of Levin Park. Levin Park has been a high traffic area with increased crime just this year alone. Movie On the Block hopes to serve as a safe space for children and youth to come, meet and engage with one another while also having fun. Hopefully the more children we attract to the Movie On the Block, the less children we will have in the park as possible targets of gun violence.

FUTURE TIES NFP
Future Ties will continue to provide safe space opportunities for the youth during the gap in service from the Chicago Park District until youth return back to school. Since the first gap activation in programs, Future Ties has continued to provide a safe space for the youth. We had a teen kick back that was very successful and well attended by the youth and we have every Friday famly movie night that is also very well attended. Our plan is to continue to offer these opportunities throughout the summer that includes the gap. We are planning another kick back with the youth for the Labor Day weekend. We have Friday Family Movie nights on our calendar through the Labor Day weekend. This funding will definitely help us with the supplies/food we need to continue to support the youth and their families during this time.
