We built and delivered over 200 desks across Chicagoland. We started a new batch of 47 desks utilizing wood left over from other projects and new lumber subsidized by a Home Depot grant! We know that schools are reopening for in-person learning, but we also know that parents are keeping 50% of students home for remote learning. High-risk families need to limit their exposure to COVID-19. Chicago Community Tools, along with Life Quilt Foundation and Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago are making sure students have a desk of their own to learn remotely.
Getting the last 50 desks ready by adjusting each one to make sure the legs fit, sanding each top and finally sealing with clear polyurethane. These desks used mostly scrap lumber for the tops with the rest of the costly lumber supplied by Lowe’s Home Improvement and The Home Depot Foundation. Special thanks to David Gemperline, Gene Kocian and the rest of the team from Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago for the many hours they spent creating the desks.

Incredible! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this during my search for something regarding this.

Hey there! I understand this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask. Does building a well-established website like yours require a large amount of work? I am completely new to blogging however I do write in my diary everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
Great post! We will be linking to this great article on our site. Keep up the good writing.
What you posted made a ton of sense. However, what about this? what if you were to create a awesome headline? I ain’t suggesting your content is not solid, but what if you added a headline that makes people desire more? I mean Lowe’s & Home Depot Partnered with Chicago Community Tools to build over 250 Remote Learning Desks! is kinda plain. You should peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they write news headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring your website a little livelier.
My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Eula – I built this site myself with Divi Theme builder on WordPress. I was a software engineer (programmer, coder) for almost four decades prior to retirement. There are many non-coding ways to implement a classy website on WordPress. Once you utilize a custom-built coded website, you are stuck with utilizing those familiar with the coding platform to maintain your site. There are many ways to implement on WordPress without the need for a costly support service. Good Luck!
Wonderful work! That is the type of information that should be shared across the internet. Disgrace on Google for now not positioning this post higher! Come on over and consult with my site . Thank you =)
