A Chairman Message
Greetings,
When we first started Concord Community Organization (CCO), back in July of 2015, I really didn’t want a lot of media attention or fanfare. I insisted that there be no press release or calls to the media to get reporters to cover the story or the movement. This was intentional and deliberate. First and foremost, I didn’t want to be guilty of self-promotion or profiting from someone else’s pain. CCO had to be about the community and not about me. So I had to check my motives and flee from the very appearance of that evil.
Now almost 3 years later, I still feel the same way.
Since July 2015 CCO has made great progress. CCO has been able to achieve the following:
- Annual Woodlawn Community Back to School Health Festival equipping our children with school supplies and health services.
- Distributed over 5000 food baskets during Thanksgiving and Christmas
- Sent relief efforts to hurricane victims in Texas and Puerto Rico
- Help ex-offenders successfully re-enter into society
I am so proud of the work that CCO is doing in the Woodlawn community, in the city of Chicago and in the world.
We are at a very critical time in the life of CCO. We need your help. I solicit your participation and financial support.

Thank you.
Dr. Kenneth D Phelps
CEO/Chairman
