Kankakee Economic and Community Development Agency

We had such a fun afternoon on Saturday at our Neighborhood Cookout! A big note of appreciation goes to 2 Rivers Credit Union and UCP Center for Disability Services, for sponsoring the event, and KVTA and Riverside for being such great partners.

It is always great to see the community out enjoying the company of their neighbors, and that wouldn't have been possible without all the participating organizations who joined us at the Bill Spriggs Civic Auditorium.

See you THIS SATURDAY at our Neighborhood Cookout! We hope you'll join us on the grounds of the Civic Auditorium on May 30th for an afternoon filled with fun, food, and fellowship with resources from community agencies including blood pressure checks from Riverside, live music from the Champagne Experience, a reptile show from Spizzirri Reptile Rescue & Rehab , and activities for all ages including one hosted by the Kankakee Public Library!

Invite your friends, tell your family this is part of their weekend plans, and we'll see you there!

You can read all the details about our Neighborhood Cookout on the ECDA website at bit.ly/ECDAoutreach.
