Look For The Helpers

Mr. Rogers famously said that when he was a little kid and saw scary things in the news, his mom would tell him to “look for the helpers.” That’s not only good advice — it was the inspiration for our Helpers Series, shining a light on Chicagoland parents, kids, families and businesses that are stepping up to help others in the time of COVID-19. Do you know a helper? Let us know at editor@chicagoparent.com!
