Norfolk Southern joins local partners for National Night Out in Chicago and Birmingham

Norfolk Southern Community Impact Ambassadors and the Norfolk Southern Police Department joined local law enforcement, first responders, and community organizations in Chicago and Birmingham for this year's National Night Out, an annual event that brings neighbors together to strengthen community connections and promote public safety.

Throughout the evening, Norfolk Southern volunteers connected with families and residents while supporting local celebrations that highlighted the importance of strong partnerships between communities and public safety agencies.

Why it matters: Safe communities are built through collaboration. National Night Out creates opportunities for neighbors, businesses, and first responders to come together, build trust, and strengthen the relationships that help communities thrive.

What we're saying

"National Night Out is a reminder that creating safe, connected communities is a shared responsibility. We're proud to stand alongside our public safety partners, building relationships with the neighbors we serve and supporting the partnerships that make our communities stronger." — Kristin Wong, Director NS Foundation and Community Impact
