Gay helping hands

CHICAGO -- Gay for Good is exactly what the name implies: the Chicago non-profit service organization sends volunteers around the metropolis and suburbs.

These do-gooders often get their hands dirty for various good causes.

"We are a group of people in the city who get together and we'll partner with two to three other non-profits each month, and we just get together and do some good and we support other non-profits and the function they are doing," said James, one of the leaders of Gay for Good.

"I got emotionally attached in Gay for Good because I was really just looking for something to give back to the community," said Marcus Bush, who is also part of the organization's leadership. "Last year I was coming through the end of the pandemic and needed something new and fun and was really welcomed with open arms, so I've really had a lot of fun being part of this organization."

The group has already volunteered for PAWS animal shelter, the Greater Chicago Sustenance Depository, Cradles to Crayons,
