Over 100 volunteers arrived to help shovel snow, Chicago's WGN 9 reported.
Many people who do not live in Chicago made donations to My Block, My Hood, My City, whose mission is to help underpriveldeged teenagers overcome poverty by taking them on explorations focused on arts, culture, and community service.
One person donated his Chicago Bulls tickets.
120 volunteers shoveled the sidewalks at more than 50 homes, mainly where the elderly live.
"I met somebody from Rogers Park, Lakeview, Hegewisch — they say Chicago is segregated, but obviously people care about other people in our city," Jahmal Cole said.
