Today marks TEN YEARS of TaskForce’s free clothing closet! It all started for one simple reason: our community needed it. Youth were walking through our doors without access to essential clothing, so we decided to step up! Today, the closet is still going strong; 1 in 4 people who visit TaskForce use it, and it’s sustained daily by the generosity of our community. 💜

TaskForce’s Spring Break was an extravaganza! We hosted a week of programming designed to help youth with their professional and personal development, and 70+ young people showed up! Through program completion incentives, we invested $22,000 into our youth, breaking down stigma and building future allies to our community. Thank you to the parents, youth, and community members who trusted us to create such an empowering and educational Spring Break experience.

Care should feel easy, affirming, and made for you. Through our partnerships with Avita Pharmacy and Broadway Pharmacy, TaskForce connects you to care that’s accessible, supportive, and rooted in community. Whether you’re picking up medication or getting connected to services, you deserve a process that feels seamless and a team that gets it! 💜

From building community programs to leading clinical access, Allante “Nala” Body— now our Health Care Access Manager—takes us through a day in her life at TaskForce. In her role, she ensures that people get the care they need, when they need it. But her story doesn’t start there — it goes back to 2008, helping launch what would become Vogue School and creating space for our community to thrive. This is what it means to grow with the work and stay rooted in it!

Join us at TaskForce’s main location, 9 N Cicero, for this month’s Farmers Market, where you can pick up fresh produce at no cost! We’re grateful to our sponsor, the Reva & David Logan Foundation, for helping make this possible and ensuring our community has access to fresh, healthy food. Come through, bring a friend, and leave with something good! 🥬 🥕
