Lincoln Park's The Wiener's Circle on Clark Street is coordinating efforts to feed migrants in Chicago, bused from Texas.
"The shelters where they are staying provide three meals a day, but it's all cold food," said Nan Warshaw, co-founder of Refugee Community Connection, a nonprofit that assists recently-arrived refugees.
The group also helps run several "free stores" where migrants can choose outfits from racks of donated clothing. "People are arriving with the clothes on their back and for people from Venezuela and Colombia, they are mostly warm-weather clothes," said Warshaw. She added that anyone looking to help can visit their Facebook page.
The Wiener's Circle set up bins this week at the restaurant to collect winter clothing this week. Those donations ultimately will end up in one of the free stores. Since late August, nearly 4,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Chicago aboard chartered buses sent from Texas by Abbott, who also sent asylum seekers to other Democrat-led cities.
