Kankakee United had the opportunity to attend the NOVPN (National Office of Violence Prevention Network) Convening in St. Louis. This gathering provided valuable insight and best practices on how to be an effective Office of Violence Prevention within our city.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support, volunteer, and uplift our community. Together, we’re making a difference—one backpack at a time!

The Kankakee County Health Department recently sat down with Kankakee United to check in on their latest efforts and hear what’s on the horizon. From community engagement to upcoming initiatives, tune in to hear how they’re making an impact right here in Kankakee.
