Let’s have a mini taste of Belmont Cragin to support the many struggling locally owned businesses on the south end of Chicago’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood. There is free parking at the Belmont Central parking garage just south of Belmont on Central.

Come with your family and friends and let’s all eat together on the same block. We’ll even have some street vendors selling elotes, cotton candy, and balloons safely operated by the children and grandchildren of our older vendors.

📅 Wednesday, November 5
🕤 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
📍 Chicago Animal Care and Control, 2741 S. Western Ave

🐾 How to Enter (see map):

• Enter W. 27th Street from Western Avenue (heading east)

• Turn right (south) on S. Leavitt Street

• Turn right (west) on W. 28th Street

• Drive into our parking lot for pet food distribution

• Exit back onto Western Avenue via 28th Street

Supplies are limited and intended to help as many families as possible. One household per vehicle, with food available for up to two pets. Distribution will continue while supplies last.

Thank you to Mary and Beth for their generous donations to reach our goal of $4,000 to feed 100 families this Thanksgiving week! Total raised is $550 of the $4,000 goal. So far we have raised enough to provide dinners for 13 families!!!
————-
Nina from Grillicious Restaurant has started a fundraiser with the goal of feeding 100 local families this Thanksgiving week. She wants to provide a half tray of Mediterranean mixed package for each family. 10 schools around the area will be asked to help choose 10 families each for this. And we need to fundraise for it.

If you happen to be in a financial position to help contribute to this Thanksgiving opportunity, you can send a donation to the [email protected] Zelle account so we can help get this project completed.

Please put “Thanksgiving” in the memo line.

As always, i will post all the donations on my pages and all the receipts up as well.
