URGENT! Strollers, baby carriers, and winter gear

URGENT! Strollers, baby carriers, and winter gear needed for migrant families living in a shelter in Streeterville!

As mothers, it is especially heartbreaking to see migrant families arriving in Chicago with nothing but the clothes on their backs. These families literally walked and carried their children from Venezuela to the USA, and now lack a lot of what they need to care for their children and prepare for the winter ahead. Although it can be overwhelming trying to figure out *how* to help when there is such a great need, we’re here with a great way to start!

We’re collecting urgently needed items for migrant families living at a shelter in Streeterville. There are two moms in our network that volunteer at this shelter and have a pulse on what is needed at this time. They have also generously offered to collect the donations. Currently, we are looking for:

Strollers
Baby carriers
Heavier blankets
ANY winter clothing/gear (especially hats, heavy pants, jackets, boots)

If you have items you’d like to donate (good condition or new), please send an email to kelly@chicagomomsnetwork.com with a list of items to be donated, and we will coordinate drop off. Drop off locations are in Lincoln Park and Evanston.

THANK YOU!!!

Bike the Drive is hands down one of my favorite Ch

Bike the Drive is hands down one of my favorite Chicago experiences - EVER!

This was our second year doing it as a family, and let me tell you - it’s a great reminder of why we love Chicago after a summer of being away!

The experience of having access to all 30 miles of Lakeshore Drive is absolutely fantastic. We have yet to find a place where we can truly let our kids be “free” on their bikes in the city, so being able to let the kids ride their hearts out without stopping is really just the best.

Although the 2023 @activetrans Bike the Drive is over, i’m bringing it up as it’s not too early to plan for next year! The date for 2024 hasn’t been announced, but the past few years it has been the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

🚴🏻‍♀️ With the holidays approaching, think about your family bike configuration for next summer! A toddler bike seat or trailer would make a great gift for yourself or your kids. We love @rvbikes - they even do trailer rentals!

🚴🏻‍♀️ Now is also the time to check your neighborhood/community Facebook groups for any of your biking needs (trailers, kids bikes, etc.) as people are looking to sell their gear before packing it up for winter.

🚴🏻‍♀️ Think ahead to Summer 2024 (🤯) and which of your kids will be biking! We’ve done @pedalheads for both of my older two, and it definitely contributed to their confidence on bikes. We live in Lakeview and easily accomplished a ride to Grant Park and back. We’re using age 6 as the cutoff in our family for actually “pedaling” vs. riding in a trailer for this event.

(The first video is from this year, the second is from last year - clearly the skyline is beautiful in the ☁️ or ☀️ )
