Winter Aid

Chicago winters are notoriously tough, with temperatures frequently reaching at or below 0 °F overnight. This makes the donations we receive at Zakat Chicago increasingly more and more important. Your donation makes a life-or death-difference in the lives of Chicagoans by providing the life-saving materials needed to make it through the winter.

When used coat donations were suspended across Chicagoland due to the Coronavirus, Zakat Chicago became more determined to increase Winter Aid. In response to the call heard around the city for coats for the impending winter, ZC procured and donated thousands of new winter coats, gloves, and other supplies to create Winter Kits that were distributed across Chicago. Donations to Zakat Chicago can help keep people safe and warm during the long winter nights.
