Share The Love WinterFest 2026 Expands with New Winter Marketplace for West Englewood Families

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Englewood · January 27, 2026

The annual Share The Love Winter Fest is returning to West Englewood this December, bringing a wealth of resources to community members during the holiday season. The event, organized by We Grow Chicago coalition, transforms the Peace Campus into a winter wonderland while providing critical support to local families.

Led by Imagine Englewood If in partnership with Growing Home, Grow Greater Englewood, Teamwork Englewood, and Metropolitan Family Services, the We Grow Chicago coalition continues its mission to empower West Englewood families. The organization creates safe community spaces where residents can access resources and support to improve their quality of life. Last year's WinterFest was a tremendous success with over 400 community members in attendance, and this year's event promises to be even larger. Residents can look forward to free toys, winter clothing, personal care items, fresh food, and holiday activities for the whole family. This year's celebration is scheduled for Saturday, December 14th from 2pm to 5pm at the Peace Campus, offering everything from family portraits to utility bill assistance, wellness workshops, and live entertainment.

West Englewood residents interested in supporting this community initiative can volunteer, donate items, or spread the word to neighbors. For more information about the event or to learn how to contribute, visit the We Grow Chicago website or stop by the Peace Campus at 6402 S. Honore Street.
