On August 12, 2023, the Equity and Engagement Department participated in CU Days at Douglas Park by distributing school supplies, City information, and engaging with residents to inform them of upcoming City events. This could not have been accomplished alone; the Champaign Police Department, Champaign Fire Department, Neighborhood Services Department, METCAD, Human Resources, Public Works, and the City Managers Office came together to make the event a success. Departments provided items to give away for back to school while CPD, CFD, and NSD provided support on the day of the event to keep residents safe and engaged with community members about information related to their department.
