Think Outside Da Block, a grassroots nonprofit organization that aims to build healthy and peaceful communities, will host their 13th Annual “Give N Peace” event on Monday, November 24, 2025, from 4pm to 8pm at Ogden Park, located at 6500 S Racine Ave. For more than a decade, Give N Peace has been a staple community celebration rooted in giving back and creating safe, warm and welcoming spaces for families. What began as a pop-up turkey drive has grown into a holistic event that provides free essential winter gear, haircuts, hairstyles, manicures, music, food, games and valuable community resources for youth in grades K–12 and their families.  The event will feature:

• Free winter essentials: Coats, hats, gloves, and scarves for youth K–12

• Self-care services: Haircuts, hairstyles, and manicures

• Community resources: Information and connections to local organizations

• Free food, music, fun, and games for all ages

By combining fun with essential support, Give N Peace continues to combat clothing scarcity and food insecurity, foster belonging, boost confidence and morale in the community. Community members and stakeholders can register to participate, volunteer, or sign up as a resource vendor at: Give N Peace 13 Registration.
