Greater Rockwell Organization

Based in Chicago, Greater Rockwell Organization is a nonprofit neighborhood organization serving local residents and community members. Founded in 1979, it provides ways for neighbors to participate through corner gardens, community events, urban development, and stewardship committees. The organization holds informal monthly meetings featuring hyper-local information, and welcomes people from outside its boundaries as Friends of GRO. Members can support its work through dues, while volunteers can contribute time to social media, newsletters, and the website. GRO also shares neighborhood information through meetings, events, and a newsletter signup. Its stated purpose is to help build a safe, friendly, and beautiful neighborhood where everyone can grow and thrive.
