The Avondale Neighborhood Association (ANA) is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan organization with the mission of unifying Chicago's Avondale community by preserving history, embracing diversity, and connecting neighbors. ANA collaborates with the community on coordinating several events a year. Some events include neighborhood clean-ups & socials, participation in community murals, and coordination of art walks, Walk/Run/Bike 5K, and the annual restaurant crawl. Additionally, ANA serves as a conduit between the Alderman and Avondale residents regarding changes in zoning and concerns in the neighborhood.
