The heart of Ravenswood and Lincoln Square beats strongest when we stand together. Currently, too many of our neighbors are under stress, and the critical work of local advocates like the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, The Friendship Center, Common Pantry, and Ravenswood Community Services has never been more vital. These groups are on the front lines, ensuring that everyone has support, but they rely on the actions of our community to continue their essential work.

That's where the Small Businesses, Big Hearts initiative comes in. Our local businesses have responded extraordinarily in unison. More than 30 businesses have committed to action, proving that community support is our greatest asset. 

How to support:

Your Donation: $5 gets you 1 ticket, and you can buy ticket bundles for greater impact. Every dollar goes directly to the essential services our selected nonprofits provide.  We have 16 raffle baskets!

The Drawing: The raffle will be open until Friday, November 21st, and we will draw the winners at 4:00 p.m. CST.

This raffle is a direct celebration of our unity. It proves that when small businesses use their collective reach, they can make a difference for our neighbors.
