Question: Does the Little Makers Market mean that only little ones will be selling at the market this Sunday?

Answer: NO! 😆 Our regular vendors will still be here as usual - fresh produce, baked goods, handmade items, food trucks, and so much more!

We’ll have a special area dedicated to our Little Makers, so you’ll have even more ways to support local businesses and encourage the entrepreneurial spirit of our young makers.

✨ WHAT’S EVEN MORE SPECIAL?

Family First Center will be joining us with fun activities for the kids, including inflatable games, popcorn, cotton candy, arts & crafts, and more! 😍

So bring your little ones, shop for the whole family, and let them be inspired by other young dreamers to keep chasing their own ideas.

No talent is too small. No idea is too little to become something amazing. 🥰

See you this Sunday! 🌱

Some of the most beautiful stories are the ones that come full circle. 🤍

Right across the street from where the Family First Center once stood—neighbors in purpose and in heart— something powerful is about to happen. This isn’t just a location to us; this is the sacred ground where our nonprofit was born.

We are coming back home to serve, to love, and to lift up our community. Join us for a Resource Fair & Block Party in partnership with Waukegan Township. This day is about making sure you don’t have to walk through hard times alone.

Come and find the help you need:
Agencies ready to serve: Housing, employment, and health resources right at your fingertips
Family fun: Music, food, and games for the kids
Connection: A chance to reunite with neighbors and meet the hands ready to help you rise

You belong here. Let us walk with you. 🏾

Algunas de las historias más hermosas son las que cierran el círculo. 🤍

Justo al otro lado de la calle de donde una vez estuvo el Family First Center, vecinos en propósito y en corazón, algo poderoso está a punto de suceder. Este no es solo un lugar para nosotros; este es el terreno sagrado donde nació nuestra organización sin fines de lucro.

Estamos volviendo a casa para servir, amar y elevar a nuestra comunidad. Únase a nosotros para una Feria de Recursos y Fiesta de Bloques en asociación con el Municipio de Waukegan. Este día se trata de asegurarse de que no tengas que pasar por momentos difíciles solo.

Ven y encuentra la ayuda que necesitas:

Agencias listas para servir: vivienda, empleo y recursos de salud al alcance de su mano

Diversión familiar: música, comida y juegos para los niños

Conexión: Una oportunidad de reunirse con los vecinos y conocer las manos listas para ayudarte a levantarte

Tú perteneces aquí. Déjanos caminar contigo. 🏾
