CHICAGO (WLS) A new resource center offering help and support for ex-offenders looking to change their lives around and get a fresh start has opened in Chicago s Avalon Park neighborhood.
Community activist Pete Keller said on Thursday that his dream, which has been in the making for nearly 20 years, has finally come true with the opening of his ULON Resource Center. Now we re giving the kids an outlet, somewhere to go, Keller said. ULON Resource Center is going to be a safe haven, a safe haven for the community of Chicago.
Keller introduced ULON - or United Legion, One Nation, which was officially founded in 2015 - to the Avalon Park neighborhood. After collecting donations, Keller was able to move the organization out of his home and to East 87th Street.
