Supporting the Community
Taste of Lincoln Avenue isn’t just about food and fun; it’s also the Wrightwood Neighbors Association’s annual fundraiser. Since 1984, the festival has supported local schools and organizations through grants funded by gate donations. These donations directly benefit neighborhood Chicago Public Schools, city parks like Jonquil and Supera Playlot, after-school programs, food pantries, and even the Chicago Fire Department on Halstead near Diversey.
