Ald. Matt O'Shea (19th) is helping those in his ward recently displaced by a fire.
A fire swept through a condo near 111th and Hoyne on Saturday, displacing 70 people. No one was injured.
If you'd like to help, you can go to O'Shea's office at 104th and Western to donate or send a check made out to Morgan Park fire victims' fund to standard bank in Evergreen Park.
Clothing has already been donated.
O'Shea says gift cards from places like Jewel, Walgreens and Wal-Mart would also help.
