Dear neighbor, 

As ILove Local week comes to an end, I wanted to simply ask: What's for dinner? 

Our #39thWard local restaurants are ready to serve you with takeout or delivery. Let's continue to support these small businesses in keeping their doors open through this challenging time. Scroll for a list of participating ward restaurants. 

Our great city remains committed to mitigating the economic pressure of COVID-19 on our community. Mayor Lori Lightfoot has announced extended tax payment remittances and temporary payment and fee suspensions. Please read below for details.

As always, our office is here to serve you:
  • We've implemented a seven-day-a-week schedule to ensure residents' questions and concerns are addressed quickly.
  • We are available via phone and email to enter service requests and help with any ward related business.
I wish you good health and safety.

All the best,

Alderman Samantha Nugent
The Forest Preserves of Cook County are open, but have instituted many changes due to concerns associated with COVID-19. For example, at Caldwell Woods, public restrooms, the warming center, and the parking lot are closed. To view the extensive list of changes, click here
 
Please keep these precautions in mind if visiting:
The Mayor's Office has announced that to mitigate some of the economic pressure being felt by local businesses, the City of Chicago has extended tax payment remittances for the months of February, March, and April 2020 until June 1, 2020.
The city has also extended the suspension of late fees and defaults on payment plans until June 1, 2020. This suspension includes:
  • City tickets
  • Utility bills
  • Parking and red-light citations
  • Booting
  • Other non-public safety-related violations
While motorists are still required to pay for metered parking, there will be no collections on overdue debt. 

The city has discontinued booting during this time.

There will be no new interest accumulated on current compliance plans, no debt collection efforts, and a further extension of the deadline for city debt checks on transportation network providers and taxi drivers.
Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) has partnered with Small Business Resource Navigators to help small businesses apply for loans and grants. Local navigators will provide individualized counseling to help navigate available business resources during COVID-19.
More specifically, Small Business Resource Navigators will:
  • Support small businesses by sharing available resources
  • Assist with determining eligibility requirements and preparing for the application process of loans and grants
  • Provide individualized counseling for business owners needing help navigating the available resources for those impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak
  • Meet with business owners by appointment via call or Zoom virtual meeting.
In the 39th Ward, our Small Business Resource Navigator is the Albany Park Community Center (APCC). Call 773.270.3650 to make an appointment with APCC. APCC will be able to assist in English, Spanish, Korean, and Arabic.

Since the Coronavirus pandemic began, the Irving Park Community Food Pantry has seen a 48% increase in demand. While the need is escalating, some pantry resources are diminishing; so the pantry is asking for your help.

Thank you to all who are on the frontlines fighting COVID-19! On Saturday, April 25, Walgreens is giving up to 30% discounts to those serving on the frontlines. To learn more, click the image below.
In these challenging times, restaurants across the nation have a small revenue stream from takeout and delivery orders, however, they still need help supporting their staff. 

As a result, Go Fund Me Campaigns have been created to support staff during this difficult time. All funds are distributed evenly among staff, and this will allow them to pay bills, pay rent, and shop for groceries in the coming weeks.

Listed below are 39th Ward restaurants who have Go Fund Me Campaigns. Click an image below to donate.
