January 15th Update

Dear Friend,

It's a new year and that means it's time for a new calendar! Stop by the 38th Ward Office at 3821 N Harlem to pick up your free 2026 calendar magnet. We are here Monday through Friday from 9am to 4:30pm and look forward to continuing to assist 38th Ward residents in 2026.

In observance of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, the 38th Ward Office will be closed Monday, January 19th. The office will reopen Tuesday, January 20th at 9:00am. Please be aware that black garbage carts will not be serviced on Monday, January 19th due to the holiday. Make sure your black carts are accessible throughout the week, not just on your regular day of pick up. 

Sincerely,

Alderman Nicholas Sposato

Meet Kruger! This is Kruger's wish list: please give me treats, love me and play with me a little and he is ready to make up for lost time! Kruger is a sweet and gentle boy, a soulful observer who would be ideal for someone looking for a low-energy, chill boy to be their companion. He is just a little gentleman currently getting overlooked. Please help us find someone to help him check every item off of his list!
