So Fresh Saturdays was developed to educate, empower and provide a “safe space” for youth and residents the Englewood community and citywide. So Fresh Saturdays will host youth and adults events that embrace art, culture, community and history.
“This is really to reclaim our parks in the name of peace,” said R.A.G.E founder AySha Butler. “Our parks have been deemed as dangerous places, and us as residents refuse to let that be the narrative.”
In addition to food, entertainment and school supplies, R.A.G.E. will be connecting residents to vital resources like medical assistance and daycare information.
