Skokie Spirit Shines Through Campaign

Skokie Spirit Shines Through

Hope - and Skokie’s strong community spirit - are stronger than fear! 

Nominate a Skokie friend or neighbor to be featured in a Skokie Spirit Shines Through profile story!

The Village’s Skokie Spirit Shines Through campaign that was launched in late March 2020, is transitioning to a series of neighbor profiles that will appear in upcoming editions of NewSkokie and SkokieNews, and profiles also will be posted in a new section of the Village web site. Who in your neighborhood is ‘a neighbor to know’? How do they contribute to a stronger sense of community, to helping others, particularly during this challenging time? How will their story inspire others in the community? 

Please consider nominating someone you know in the community who you think has a unique, inspiring story and who would want to be highlighted as an example for others. If your neighbor agrees to be featured, we will contact them for an interview. Their profile story will include some of the basics - name, how long they’ve lived in Skokie, etc., with details on how they contribute to a positive community spirit, maybe a word or two on their favorite Skokie store or restaurant and more. 

Print an 8.5" by 11" Skokie Spirit Shines Through poster for your front window:

Help build the Skokie Spirit Shines Through campaign to show Skokie’s strong spirit during this difficult time. Please share your hope and community spirit by sending a poster, picture, or brief info on how you and your neighbors are staying connected to info@skokie.org for publishing consideration for this page or the next edition of NewSkokie. Thank you!

The Skokie Community Foundation has launched a new Skokie Spirit Shines Through fundraising campaign! See details on how you can support the campaign. Funds raised through this effort will be used to assist our Skokie neighbors in need during this difficult time. The Village is grateful to the Skokie Community Foundation for their partnership in this effort!

Please be a good neighbor during these difficult times. Governor Pritzker has stated, "All of us have a part to play. Be a helper." A wonderful way to feel better is to help someone else feel better, or safer or calmer. Look for ways to help others, exchange phone numbers with your neighbors, and agree to check in with each other, help each other with shopping or food delivery. Consider safe ways to help through your neighborhood connections like Facebook and Nextdoor. Technology and our fast society have isolated us from our neighbors, but technology also offers safe ways to stay connected. Now is the time to support each other in safe and healthy ways.
