West Chicago has been selected to be a part of DuPage Habitat for Humanity’s first Community Cares Week. Community Cares Week brings together volunteers to do exterior home repair projects for residents in a selected community within Habitat’s service area. We will be bringing together small groups of volunteers from across DuPage County to the West Chicago community May 25th-May 29th. Projects will range from replacing siding to painting, to general yard clean-up.
Habitat provides all the tools, building materials, and training for this event; no construction experience is needed.
