Even though we are practicing social distancing, we stay connected with one another, continue our work behind the scenes and want to stay in touch with all of you. Connecting and supporting each other is more important than ever right now. You can say "hello" to us remotely by following Hull-House on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. If you need help, or want to help others, look below for ways to support artists, arts organizations, healthcare workers and others in need. Help is here! To support artists, arts organizations and cultural workers that are struggling during the COVID-19 crisis, Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot and Governor JB Pritzker announced the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund. The new fund supports urgently needed individual grants up to $1,500 and larger grants for arts organizations. The fund is supported by a broad philanthropic community and administered by Arts Alliance Illinois, 3Arts and Arts Works Fund. Visit the new website artforillinois.org to apply for a grant and to donate to the fund. This site also features performances, poetry, videos and art workshops submitted by arts organizations and artists from across Illinois that you can enjoy from wherever you are. Included on the site is Hull-House's Memo to the Mayor from the West Side produced with Hull-House partner BBF Family Services. Click below to watch, donate, or apply. Last year, Hull-House produced a "Memo to the Mayor from the West Side" with youth from BBF Family Services as a part of Hull-House's project Making the West Side. Listen to their needs and wishes for their community. Give to Grassroots Organizations: (Image: JAHHM/Sarah Larson) Looking for local Chicago efforts to support?
