The Southwest Collective

The Southwest Collective (SWC) is a community-driven organization based in Chicago's southwest side, dedicated to fostering connections among residents and empowering them to address local issues through civic engagement and resource sharing. With a focus on equity, SWC offers a variety of programs, including support for small businesses, mental health initiatives, and environmental justice efforts, all designed to enhance the quality of life for neighbors in the area.

SWC operates uniquely, relying on a network of volunteers who are deeply invested in their communities, rather than traditional staff structures. Their initiatives, such as Freebies for Families and the Little Free Library Network, aim to create supportive environments where residents can access resources, share experiences, and build a stronger community together.
