Chicago! 🌧️ There are storms rolling through, and there are a lot of residents, particularly on the South and West Sides, whose neighborhoods already have a lot of debris.

If you need volunteers to help clean up your yard, pick up debris, or help get your block back in order, DM us and let us know.

If you have a couple hours over the next few days, this is a great opportunity to show up for our neighbors! Great day to be a Chicagoan, and a great day to be a volunteer.

Lollapalooza is more than music. It’s making life-long memories and dreaming bigger.

In partnership with Airbnb, youth in our Explorers Program spent Saturday experiencing new sights and bites, catching live shows, and exploring Chicago’s biggest festival, Lollapalooza. Might be our dopest exploration yet!

Thank you, Airbnb, for helping make exposure possible. 💙
