Welcome to 2025
We want to welcome you into this year, by announcing our theme of 2025. Community Bonding And Community Building. Let’s become more than a neighborhood and neighbors this year. Let’s strive to become a community. Plus in the article we will recap some recent fun we’ve shared up to this point.
On the first of this month we, had the grand reopening of our center, located at 9351 S. Michigan Avenue. During this celebration we honored some of our community champions, with awards.

Continuing to Community Bond and Community Build. On January 3rd, WCCA had the privilege, to help one of our community members in their journey. Western Illinois University Sophomore Lorenzo Scott, was award the Percy & Clotee Moss Annual Scholarship. Presented to him by Mrs. Clotee Moss and West Chesterfield President Sharon Banks-Pincham (Pictured Below). We wish Lorenzo the best of luck and, are excited to see his future growth.
Last but definitely not least on December 15th, 2024. We came together as a community to celebrate and enjoy each others company, for Christmas. If you weren’t there, you surely missed out on a jovial time and occasion. There was a gift donation, food and great conversation. As an extension of our celebration, WCCA took the gift donations we collected and donated them to Gillespie Elementary School on December 17th. We were overjoyed to see the excitement and thankfulness of the children. Also a big thank you to their school principal Dr. Michelle R. Willis, for her kind thank you letter.
Talk about Community Bonding And Community Building. We are excited to present you with more and more events like these, later this year. So keep your eyes peeled for our calendar and our newsletter.
Let us make the most of 2025!
