Last week, a significant community event took place in the Alsip area, where over 250 families benefited from a collaborative effort to provide free food and essential services. The event, known as the Nicor Gas Community Connection Resource Fair, was a successful partnership among various stakeholders committed to supporting the community.
Key participants included Illinois State Senator Bill Cunningham and Illinois State Representative Mary Gill, who, alongside the Village of Alsip and local community organizations, played a crucial role in organizing and supporting the event. The fair proved the power of community collaboration, as Nicor Gas employee volunteers joined forces with Top Box Foods to ensure the distribution of food and resources to those in need.
In addition to food distribution, the event offered attendees access to a range of essential services and resources. Notable organizations such as the American Red Cross, South Suburban Housing Center, The Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs and The Salvation Army were present. These organizations provided valuable assistance and critical resources, addressing various needs of the attendees, from housing support to veterans' services.
As the community prepares for the cooler months ahead, the event highlighted the importance of ensuring that residents have the necessary support and resources. Nicor Gas is committed to helping its customers navigate the challenges that come with changing seasons.
