Maker Resource: Rebuilding Exchange
Rebuilding Exchange is a nonprofit that invests in our communities by reusing building materials, reducing construction waste, and training, supporting, and connecting people seeking careers in the building trades. They have two storefront locations, one in Chicago and one in Evanston, offering reclaimed building materials for sale at affordable cost. Both locations also offer a complete calendar of DIY workshops and salvage-infused experiences designed to educate and inspire creativity, renewal, and community. The Chicago location offers weekly Open Shop, where members have access to the shop’s tools and machines to work on any project. Learn more about Rebuilding Exchange and their mission here.
