Volunteers looked to help those in need of warmth and food. You need more food, you need a jacket or anything else? asked Farhan Ahmed, Chi-Care volunteer.
Ahmed and his group of Chi-Care volunteers spend every weekend in Chicago handing out necessities to the city s homeless. Propane tanks, wood logs, tents, coats, blankets, anything that keep them warm, said Abdul Hasib, Chi-Care co-founder.
While the city and other organizations coaxed many people who live on the streets into a shelter this weekend, many continue to remain outside under viaducts, along expressways and tents. These guys have to survive tonight. It s going to be like -20 outside, so it s going to be horrible, Ahmed said.
