WEST CHICAGO, Ill. (WLS) -- United Way of Metropolitan Chicago (UWMC) is launching its second LIVE UNITED Neighborhood Network in the West Chicago community to offer services in education, income and health. The goal is to achieve lasting change.

In honor of the new efforts, West Chicago is throwing a block party, where people can get information on community services, get school supplies, enjoy food, and participate in a community art project.

Jeanette Castellanos Butt, Vice-President of Community Investments with the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago, and Mayor Ruben Pineda of West Chicago came into our ABC 7 Eyewitness News studio to tell us about the initiative and the event.
