Adopt-a-Family:

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

In partnership with the West Loop Community Organization, we are starting a new tradition in the 2nd Ward. We have reached out to pastors and community leaders to identify families in the 2nd Ward who don't have the resources to have a very good holiday.

We are truly humbled with the interest of this program . . . The generosity of our residents is truly wonderful! However, we still have families who need assistance.

We have asked each family to list each member and a "wish" for a gift this holiday season. We are asking the generous residents of the 2nd ward to "adopt-a-family" and donate the items the needy family requested.

We are hoping to have the items by December 19th, at our office at 1319 S. State St, so we can get them to the families in time for Christmas.

Each family is different, and many of the requests are simple; toys, household items, and winter clothes.

Please contact Beth O'Mara in my office at

312.263.9273, or email her at:

beth.o'mara@cityofchicago.org.

We will provide you with more information about a family available for adoption in this effort. Of course, if you know a family who is struggling this season, please let Beth know, so we can get them involved with this program. We are hoping to give each family their presents during the week of December 19.

Together, we can help those less fortunate in the 2nd Ward. After all, this is truly the spirit of community and the holidays.
