WELCOME TO THE WEST ENGLEWOOD UNITED ORGANIZATION SITE

Welcome to the West Englewood United Organization (W.E.U.O.) website. W.E.U.O. is
a non-for-profit organization that has been instrumental in caring and sharing with
hundreds of women and children since it was founded in 1983 by Mrs. Clara Kirk.
W.E.U.O. was established primarily to try and deal with the many problems facing
the people of Chicago's West Englewood and Englewood communities. W.E.U.O.'s
mission is to improve the quality of life for family and community residence

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for families
and community residents without regard to
race, religion, or origin. We design our programs to meet basic needs for employment, housing, health care and education through training and projects directed at advocacy, social services, empowerment, and self-awareness. Our goal was to seek necessary assistance to provide a local community emergency center. With complete knowledge and a everyday view of the homeless situation, we suffered many discouragements in our effort to open Clara's House.

The West Englewood United Organization was established in 1983 from a collaboration of neighborhood block clubs. Our joint effort was initiated by our mutual concern and regard for the Englewood and West Englewood communities and to abate the fast growing deterioration of the communities. Becasue this matter was heart bound, and unjust neglect by our local politicians, four block clubs combined to establish West Englewood United Organization. As with any fast growing business, the West Englewood United Organization is always in acceptance of individuals with the tenacity to structure, implement and promote positive living.
