Welcome to Evergreen Park Patch
Meet Evergreen Park Editor Renita Young and hear more about the town's newest source for news and information.
In a small town like Evergreen Park, just about everybody knows everybody. The next-door neighbor is a teacher at the school down the street. Children grow up and raise their own families in the village.
While building the Evergreen Park Patch, I found Evergreen Park to be a tight-knit, family community with big-city influence.
Known as a "Village of Churches," Evergreen Park has more than 10 churches of different denominations. It's home to a Walmart, Sam's Club and Evergreen Plaza. The residents have a strong commitment to the community and actively participate in making the village a better place.
