Rebuilding Exchange is a retail experience on a mission...

Our nonprofit stores invite the community to discover an ever-changing inventory of incredibly reasonable, often surprising, and sometimes historical building materials and appliances.

In the process, you become part of a remarkable cycle of renewal. Rebuilding Exchange merchandise is made possible by our inclusive local workforce, trained in deconstruction, sales and logistics to keep good materials out of landfills and delivered to our stores, where you provide new homes and purpose. In this sustainability story, everyone wins.

We also make it fun. Our Evanston and Chicago stores offer a complete calendar of DIY workshops and salvage-infused experiences designed to inspire creativity, reuse, and community. Learn More
