The volunteers were out today, standing at various intersections and collecting donations for the benefit of Misericordia.
Misericordia's mission is to provide care services and housing for developmentally and intellectually disabled people. It's run by the Sisters of Mercy under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Their main campus is in the Rogers Park neighbourhood on the north side, on the site of the former Angel Guardian Orphanage.
Any small donation is welcomed and you'll get a bag of Jelly Bellies and a bright red tag to put in your windshield...
... or hang from your brake cable.
If you should see any of these folks on a corner near you tomorrow, don't just ride by...
(and the jelly beans are tasty! )
