Charity in Chicago: this was written and published a few months ago…
*Project Downtown: My personal favorite, this organization is based on one idea only: Mercy. It’s about having mercy on those who are stereotyped, pigeonholed, and then forgotten as we settle into our routines with our relatively comfortable lives around us. Project Downtown gives you that shock that is needed to wake you up, and make you realize that yes, even that 1985 Civic you’re driving is a blessing. PD Chicago meets up every two weeks on Sundays, in the Garfield Park neighborhood, to distribute 100% zabiha halal food to those who need it. For questions, or to get involved, you can contact Brian Becker at [EMAIL=“[email protected] [email protected] . PD is also hosting a Day of Dignity Event in the second week of Ramadan on September 14th; for more details visit: Chicago’s Day of Dignity
