For the 2nd year in a row, the members of the EA Collective rolled up our sleeves and volunteered with My Block, My Hood, My City for a neighborhood clean-up day. Our company and employees have always valued giving back, and this is just one of many efforts we participate in each year. We believe beautifying our city helps build community while creating a positive impact. Thank you to My Block, My Hood, My City for your dedication to empowering neighborhoods and driving positive change. We're proud to be part of this effort to build a stronger, more vibrant Chicago!
