The Midwest is in the middle of a polar vortex right now and is experiencing extremely cold temperatures. Along with the possibility of actually freezing to death and the lack of housing for people who aren’t as fortunate, Vic Mensa decided to step up and give back to his hometown.

Vic is teaming up with his Save Money Save Life Foundation as well as Healthy Hood Chicago to round up winter essentials for those less fortuante.

“Chicago, as you know, it’s cold as fuck right now what you may not be thinking about is those without a roof over their head to protect them from this weather,” he said in the video post on Instagram.

“As the temperature drops to beneath 30 degrees in the next two days, people will die. My foundation is taking donations that are going to be used to feed 50 people three meals a day for the next two days while the weather is at its worse. Please, if you have the resources to we are accepting sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, food, and money. We have Venmo. If you have the possibility to, we need this help.”
