The Evanston Rebuilding Workforce makes its debut!

You may have heard of a place called the Evanston Rebuilding Warehouse (ERW), a building material reuse warehouse and community organization in the West End of Evanston located at 2101 W. Dempster Street. In February of this year ERW initiated a workforce training program called the Evanston Rebuilding WORKFORCE. This intensive training course in deconstruction is helping disadvantaged individuals secure successful employment. To help cement support for the Evanston Rebuilding WORKFORCE a benefit will be held on March 29th at Prairie Moon.
