COVID care for seniors in Chicago

In these quarantimes, just about everything feels weird, hard, and scary, and it’s hard to know where to begin to try to make a difference. In a lighthearted moment lamenting our inability to maintain our haircuts, Danielle and I hit on an idea that might allow us to do both. In researching local organizations that are making an impact for those affected by the COVID-19 crisis here in Chicago, we came across My Block, My Hood, My City, and loved that they are providing urgently needed supplies and relief to at-risk demographics, while also giving vital support and community to their clients in this uncertain time. Next Sunday, Danielle and I will take the problem of haircuts off our plates when we buzz our heads live on Facebook - if we raise $5000 for MBMHMC. Join us as we do our best to spread a little light and laugh at ourselves in the process! Wanna join us? Share this link and get your clippers ready - let’s be real, we could all be home for a while, and the last thing any of us need to worry about is our hair :) 

With the global spread of Coronavirus and 3,000 reported cases in Chicago, My Block My Hood My City will be ensuring seniors have access to hand sanitizer, health supplements, toiletries, and food. Seniors and those living with disability are most at risk in the event of the continued spread of the virus.
