The WasteShed serves as a vital resource in Chicago, providing affordable and reliable access to repurposed art, craft, and school materials. This dynamic center fosters activities centered around sustainability, art, and education, connecting individuals eager to create while minimizing waste.
From 2018 to 2022, The WasteShed's materials reached over 350 schools and nonprofits across Illinois. In 2022 alone, the combined efforts of our Evanston and Humboldt locations diverted an impressive 61,218 lbs of materials from landfills, equivalent to the weight of an unloaded freight train car. This achievement marks a 32% increase from our previous record.
While The WasteShed is 65% self-supporting through sales, grants and donations are crucial for continued operations. Every contribution, no matter the size, significantly enhances our ability to serve the community.
Your support can help sustain creative reuse initiatives in Chicago. Donate cryptocurrency or cash to empower local artists, educators, and sustainability efforts. Together, we can transform waste into opportunity!
