The Community Corner program, operated by Live Up Network, is designed to connect residents with essential resources, services, and community support through collaboration and information sharing.
Mission
Goal: Equip residents of Park Forest and the Southland community with a safe, accessible space to connect with essential life resources on a regular basis, helping improve quality of life and strengthen community well-being.
Community Corner functions as a Resource Potluck, where participants can:
- Share their resource needs.
- Learn about available community services and opportunities.
- Connect with organizations and support networks.
- Recommend resources they know about for review and vetting.
- Build relationships that foster mutual support and community engagement.
How It Works
Community Corner creates an environment where residents can both seek assistance and contribute knowledge. By bringing people together, the program helps bridge gaps between community members and the resources they need to thrive.

- Encourage community members to share information and experiences.
