Hope on the Block Summer Kickoff Brings Parade and Community Festival to Celebrate Local Kids CHICAGO, IL

On June 6, New Life Covenant Church will host Hope on the Block Summer Kickoff, a community-wide event designed to help children begin summer in a safe, joyful, and welcoming environment. Our event is a family festival filled with activities, games, and opportunities for connection. The goal of the event is to bring families together, celebrate local children, and provide resources that would allow families to be equipped for the rest of the year. Join us for a safe start to the summer season.

“We’re excited to create an environment where kids feel celebrated, safe, and supported as they head into summer,” said Pastor David Marrero. “This is more than an event, it’s a way for our church to serve and show love to our community in a practical way.” Hope on the Block – Summer Kickoff is open to the public and free for all families to attend.
