COMMUNITY OUTREACH


The ECDA’s federal grant funding emphasizes the importance of community engagement to ensure meaningful impact. We are committed to engaging and collaborating with the community we serve. We aim to foster transparent communication, build trust, and ensure that community members have opportunities to participate in decision-making processes that affect them. Check out our initiatives and ways to get involved!

NEIGHBORHOOD WALKS INITIATIVE


The Neighborhood Walks Initiative brings us to neighborhoods across Kankakee to connect with residents and share information about local community resources. Every step of each walk helps us learn more about community needs and build a thriving community together.
