See how mbmhmc is organizing volunteers to help reopen damaged retailers in Chicago.
LOCAL SUPPORT: Chicago reopened retail stores Wednesday, even though stores across the city are boarded up due to widespread looting and damage.
“Rebuilding Chicago starts locally, with the block you live on,” Gonzalez said. “Our main focus is rebuilding the small businesses of the city. Those that can’t get bailed out and those where the insurance won’t cover most of the damages.” The biggest cost for retailers is glass, from destroyed storefronts and windows, and insurance doesn’t cover everything, he noted.
The organization mobilizes volunteers to work on the hardest-hit areas of the city. As of now, 4,000 volunteers have signed up.
