We accomplish this by diverting materials from landfills and making them accessible for reuse through our retail warehouse, promoting sustainable deconstruction practices, providing education and job training programs, and creating innovative models for sustainable reuse. Create a market for reclaimed building materials.

Established in 2009, Rebuilding Exchange is a nonprofit social enterprise that repurposes building materials that would otherwise devalue a community and provides job training for people with barriers to employment, making a commitment to education and economic development in Chicago's underserved communities. Rebuilding Exchange has four distinct social enterprise areas that achieve our mission. Our 25,000 square foot retail warehouse provides affordable reclaimed building materials to the general public.
