West Hollowell Foundation

Empowering our community, honoring our heritage.

At the West Hollowell Foundation, we're dedicated to revitalizing our community by placing legacy residents at the heart of everything we do. As the community quarterback for the West Hollowell neighborhoods consisting of Almond Park, Carey Park, and Brookview Heights (formerly known as Bowen Homes), we work tirelessly to prevent displacement, foster inclusive growth, and preserve the rich history and culture that make these neighborhoods unique.

Join us in empowering our community, celebrating our heritage, and making West Hollowell a place where all residents can thrive.
