This weekend, we celebrated a #Groundbreaking with our partners Care For Friends, the Church of Our Saviour, and Norcon, Inc. in #Chicago 's #LincolnPark neighborhood. Created in 1968 to serve single meals to the unhoused, Care for Friends has grown into a nonprofit organization that holistically supports Chicago's most vulnerable, serving over 10,000 meals per year. The new renovation/addition will enable them to continue their mission by including critical health services, updated meal provider operations, and administrative space. Thank you WBBM | CBS Chicago and WGN-TV for the coverage! https://lnkd.in/dEF-R3Ti https://lnkd.in/dPrqJgG9 #construction #chicagohome #homelessnessawareness #homeless #shelter #chicagoconstruction #healthcare #healthcarearchitecture #wellness #nonprofit #nonprofitsuccess #community #jobopportunities #foodaccess #foodsecurity

The Auburn Gresham Healthy Lifestyle Hub is the recipient of a 2023 Landmarks Illinois Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Preservation Award for Adaptive Reuse! Carlos Nelson and Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation redeveloped a nearly 100-year-old terra cotta building on W. 79th Street on the South Side of Chicago to create a bustling community center. The reuse of the 0.7-acre site has sparked economic development in the area and created over 150 jobs. Learn more about the project and register for our preservation award ceremony on October 27 by visiting the link: https://ow.ly/6Lip50PNsyi Thank you: Carlos Nelson and the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation Jack Kelley, MKB Architects Teresa Prim, Prim Lawrence Group . . .
