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.
