The Grace and Peace Church brought the pumpkin patch to Chicago’s Austin neighborhood with an outdoor fall celebration. The event served many of the migrant families recently relocated from Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and other countries that the church has been providing resources and support to. At the event, attendees got to enjoy activities including a petting zoo, bounce house, pony rides and more, thanks to event sponsor DoorDash, who provided $4,000 to support the event. The event was held at the Grace and Peace Church Revive Center, a space dedicated to unlocking the potential in and with the surrounding Austin community. DoorDash previously partnered with Grace and Peace Church to sponsor their Back to School event and giveaway in August, as well as their Easter Eggstravaganza in April.  DoorDash has partnered with a wide variety of organizations in Chicago providing access to opportunity, including the Good Hope Free Will Baptist Church, Greater Mt. Vernon Baptist Church, the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, Heartland Alliance’s NEON Program, John A. Hamline Elementary School, South Side YMCA, Ravenswood Elementary, Sarah’s Circle, TCA Health and more.
