Storms Test Nonprofits' Resilience | Chicago News
Description
Storms hit Northwest Indiana hard, leaving nonprofits scrambling to keep operations running. Humane Indiana Wildlife lost power for nearly 48 hours, cutting off water and forcing staff to improvise with headlamps and bottled water—thanks to a donated generator, their freezers stayed intact. They’re still accepting animals, using social media to reassure the public they’re open despite downed phones and internet. Meanwhile, Haven House, a domestic violence shelter, battles ongoing damage from a June tree fall and relentless rain, now weighing whether their century-old building can be saved after insurance only covered the roof. Still, they’re moving families to a temporary site and accepting new clients—keeping doors open for those who need them most, no matter the odds.
