Skokie Spirit Shines Through Campaign

Skokie Spirit Shines Through

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

The Village’s Skokie Spirit Shines Through campaign that was launched in late March 2020, invited Skokie residents to submit photos showing their community spirit during a most difficult time. From March through June, Skokie residents submitted more than 100 photos showing their creativity and resilience. Graphics were developed, and are linked below, that residents were encouraged to print and display in their windows. A coloring page version also was developed for the kids!

The Village of Skokie also partnered with the Skokie Community Foundation that raised nearly $70,000 in funds from March through June, 2020, as part of the Skokie Spirit Shines Through campaign. The Village's Health and Human Services Division allocated the funds to Skokie residents in need due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In summer 2020, the Skokie Spirit Shines Through campaign transitioned 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. 

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