Head's up, #Chicago: SNAP rules are changing. You must take action to keep your benefits. These mandatory requirements must be submitted to the Illinois Department of Human Services by February 1 2026. We'll put a link to their site in the comments.

Temperatures in #Chicago are expected to plunge again this weekend. In response, the #Mayfair Presbyterian Church will host a warming center for our unhoused neighbors. To meet this need, folks can drop off donations after 2pm on the 18th. Thanks to @parksforall.bsky.social for their involvement!

We're sharing a few numbers with everyone as 2025 winds down. We're proud of these yet our ambitions for the next year are greater, so consider this an open invitation to people in #Mayfair looking for an active role in their neighborhood. #Chicago families are stronger when we support each other.

Think twice about throwing away those holiday lights, #Chicago! WasteNot Composting and Reduce Waste Chicago have teamed up to manage holiday light recycling drop centers all across the city. Our #Mayfair neighbors can take their lights to the 39th Ward alderman's office at 4200 W Lawrence Ave.

Have you been thinking about ways to contribute to your #Mayfair community? We'd love for you to bring that energy and those ideas to our monthly meeting happening on Tuesday, December 16th at 7pm! MMA is an all-volunteer, grassroots collective operating as part of the #Chicago Mutual Aid Network.

Northwest Church of Christ in the #Mayfair neighborhood of #Chicago offers a food pantry on Saturday mornings. You won't need any paperwork or a referral. An ID is not required, but would be helpful for signing you into their system.

For folks on the northwest side: Mayfair Presbyterian Church will host a warming center this weekend. They're also requesting volunteers and linen donations.

Bitterly cold temperatures in #Chicago this weekend will put many of our neighbors at risk. #Mayfair Presbyterian Church is providing an overnight warming center both Saturday and Sunday nights. Not everyone who needs help will ask for it, so check in with the folks in your 'hood!
