Connect is proud to announce the conscious fundraiser “Welcoming Greenheart to Wicker Park” was a success!
The Center for Cultural Interchange operates The Greenheart Shop, an environmental and social initiative that supports sustainability development. The shop offers a wide selection of fair trade and eco-friendly products ensuring that the artisans making the products are paid fair living wages and each product is produced using the most sustainable materials whenever possible.
The event was filled with creative energy as like-minded individuals came together to enjoy art, music and celebrate conscious capitalism.
We would like to thank the businesses that chose to support our event:
Tree Theory: Bags harvested from seatbelt webbing and billboard material from the Chicago junkyards.
Wired: Jewelry made from reclaimed and surplus industrial materials
The Bleeding Heart Bakery: Local, sustainable Pastry
Blue Plate Catering: Premier Chicago caterer
The Green Grocer: Neighborhood market that features organically grown locally produced food products and specialty items.
