ENGLEWOOD — Some stores in Englewood, Auburn Gresham, and Chatham are still closed after being targeted by looting on the heels of — but separate from — widespread protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The closures have left many South Siders in under-resourced areas without access to their primary options for groceries and prescriptions. Asaiah Butler, co-founder of Residents Association of Greater Englewood (R.A.G.E.), said the communities and businesses are slowly recovering.
“We’re going to get it together,” Butler said.
In the meantime, Block Club Chicago is keeping a list of markets and pharmacies now open for business, including a free resource to help you fill prescriptions this week.
