West Town Mutual Aid Chicago
West Town Mutual Aid is an all-volunteer, grassroots group operating in Chicago in Ukrainian Village, Bucktown, Wicker Park, and the surrounding areas. We formed in March 2020 to help support one another during the Covid-19 pandemic. We are a group of neighbors helping neighbors through solidarity, not charity.
