| | | | Dear Neighbor,
50th Ward Donation Drive I am pleased to announce that I will once again be collecting donations of food, clothing, and household essentials at the 50th Ward Office. Many of our neighbors are still grappling with the economic ramifications of COVID-19, and any goods you can spare will make a tremendous difference to those in need.Drop off donations at 2949 W. Devon during regular business hours. Please call before coming to make sure a staff member is available to pick up the food outside the office. Staff will wear masks and gloves and follow social distancing procedures.Please consider donating non-perishable food, clothing, and any other goods you can spare—every item helps!
Utility Billing Relief The City of Chicago is launching the Utility Billing Relief (UBR) Program—a new initiative to make water and sewer charges more affordable for low-income residents. Water is a basic human right. This new program will make it so families do not have to choose between paying for utilities and other needed services.The new program offers a reduced rate on water, sewer, and the water-sewer tax for homeowners who meet LIHEAP income eligibility criteria. It also puts a hold on late payment penalties and debt collection for outstanding bills, and offers debt forgiveness after successfully completing one year with no past due balance. Interested residents can apply for the program at www.chicago.gov/UBR. For more information, call (312) 744-4426 or email utilitybill@cityofchicago.org. Chicago Census Challenge Chicago has launched a citywide challenge to see which ward can deliver the highest increase in census response. The winning ward will get ice cream for the entire neighborhood's children.Take the census now at my2020census.gov or by calling 844-330-2020. The Census Challenge has already begun and will go through July 17. I am pleased to say that our neighborhood is currently in third place out of the city's 50 wards. However, there are still nearly 8,000 uncounted households in the 50th Ward, so we have a lot of work to do! Information collected from the census is used to ensure equal political representation and fair allocation of government resources. This cycle, more than $800 billion in federal funding is at stake for everything from education and healthcare to infrastructure and social safety net programs.Visit www.chicago.gov/census for more information about the Census Challenge and how you can help our city! Block Parties Canceled The Department of Transportation has canceled all block parties in Chicago through September 7, 2020. This decision is based on recommendations from the CDC and local and state health officials. Block parties may not be happening, but the City is still holding plenty of remote and socially distant cultural events this summer. Visit the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events website at www.chicago.gov/DCASE for all of the exciting activities. Annual Water Quality Report Every year, the Chicago Department of Water Management issues a report containing a complete analysis of our drinking water for the previous year. Once again, Chicago's drinking water was found to meet all state and federal regulations for safe, clean water. You can find the full report at www.ChicagoCCR.org. A copy of the full report is also being mailed to everyone with a water account. For any resident concerned about the quality of their water, the Chicago Department of Water Management offers free water testing. Learn more and register for water testing at www.chicagowaterquality.org. Have a wonderful weekend! Stay safe and healthy. Sincerely,
Debra L. Silverstein

Summer Learning Challenge at the Chicago Public Library
Summer learning loss is a very real phenomenon, and decades of research have confirmed that a lack of intellectual stimulation over the summer can set your children's education back as much as a month every year. One way to keep your children on track is to help them participate in the Summer Learning Challenge at the Chicago Public Library.
This program is open to children 13 and younger. This year's theme is Building Stories, and it encourages children to explore science and art in the architecture around us. Activities are available at neighborhood libraries, at home, and online.
The challenge is as follows: - Read – Read 20 minutes a day, every day. Read anything you want including books, magazines, eBooks and audiobooks for at least 500 minutes – all reading counts!
- Discover – Complete at least one hands-on activity. Try a library activity, try a Museum of Science and Industry Summer Brain Game or other STEAM activity, or explore something new.
- Create – Make at least one creation. Make art, write a story or design something new.
For more information, please visit the Northtown Branch of the Chicago Public Library, call them at (312) 744-2292, or register online here.
