In the past few weeks, we’ve seen horrible destruction and devastation to cities in Texas and Florida. But, we’ve also seen incredible resilience and a constant flow of human decency and selflessness.
Here are some Chicago organizations and establishments that are working to provide aid to those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
1997 N. Clybourn Ave. 773-935-7297
When flood waters rise and homes are evacuated, pet owners often have no option but to give up their cats and dogs. PAWS Chicago is partnering with the Houston Bureau of Animal Control (BARC) to give these furry friends a home in the wake of disaster. Four rescue vans from PAWS have been dispatched to affected areas to bring these recently-forfeited pets to Chicago and help them find new forever homes. To donate to these efforts—or offer to foster a misplaced pet—visit pawschicago.org.

Drinking for a good cause is the best kind of drinking. Head to Timothy O’Toole’s through the end of the month to support disaster relief efforts by purchasing Budweiser, Bud Light or Michelob Ultra Brew beers. For each beer purchase, the pub will donate $1 to disaster relief and Anheuser-Busch and Lakeshore Beverage will match each donation—making a $2 donation as a result.
3216 N. Sheffield Ave. 773-348-3250
