A repack at the Greater Chicago Food Depository! Without volunteers help, they wouldn’t be able to distribute as much food as they do.

Paws is a great organization to work for. Super easy to schedule and go at your own pace!!

What are your interests?

Yes. Both have a similar mission to help underprivileged youth. I believe Embarc is more focused on helping kids succeed in the moment / high school and giving them resources to succeed.

Chicago Scholars is taking first generation to go to college students in their senior year and helping them and their family navigate the process and the next 3-4 years. Tons of volunteer opportunities and mentor opportunities. Their biggest annual event, Onsite, is happening in October and I believe they’re still in need of volunteers. It’s so rewarding!

If you enjoy learning about and being around animals, shelters and rescue orgs are always desperate for extra hands! And there are so many different roles you can lend yourself to. I have been volunteering with PAWS Chicago since the pandemic, and it has hands-down been one of the best experiences and communities I have gained in my adult life.

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

Are there any well-off suburbs around Chicago where there's a significant amount of black or mixed race people? Significant meaning 40-50%+. I've seen a lot of nice black suburbs in southern and eastern cities but less in the midwest. In an interracial relationship and want to get an idea if there are any suburbs where our kids would feel represented or if we'll need to move down south for that.
