Now more than ever, hyperlocal news is critical. As a volunteer-run publication, we rely on the passion of neighbors like you who love Logan Square to enable us to socialize the neighborhood. LoganSquarist has been a longstanding facilitator in the community and we hope to continue to serve that role. From canceled events to changing the way we socialize, 2020 has hit us all hard. At LoganSquarist, we too have felt this strain, while volunteers juggle more on their plates, typical outreach opportunities are no longer safe and we rely more on virtual-only interactions. We’ve also watched as neighbors have rallied around causes, supported restaurants through takeout, and tried to stay connected. This year, we’re hosting a Virtual Fundraiser to help supplement our operating costs, which include website and hosting fees, LLC expenses, and marketing costs. With limited advertising support, this event is vital for us to continue what we do. We hope you can help by becoming a monthly patron on Patreon or considering a one-time donation to show your support.

Stay tuned...We're launching our first ever Virtual Fundraiser next Monday, Sep. 14! This week long event will help supplement our operating costs and aid us through the coming year. Support local news by supporting the LoganSquarist.❤️ #logansquare #logansquarist #supportlogansquarist
