Operation Help a Hero

The City of Chicago, the 43rd Ward and Jewel-Osco are collecting new household items for distribution to veterans transitioning out of homelessness.

Too often, a formerly homeless veteran lacks the resources to purchase many of the basic items needed to live independently. You can donate to the  Operation Help-A-Hero   drive by dropping donations to any Jewel-Osco or the 43rd Ward Office through July 3rd. 

Fourth of July Office Hours

Our office will be closed at 2 p.m today and closed on the 4th and 5th of July in observance of the holiday. We will reopen Monday, July 8th with our regular business hours. Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!
