CBRE and Rebuilding Together Work to Renovate Ada S. Mckinley Program In Chicago


 

CBRE, through its corporate philanthropy program, CBRE Cares, will partner with national community revitalization nonprofit organization Rebuilding Together to renovate one of Ada S. McKinley’s program locations in Chicago, Illinois, during its CBRE Women’s Networking Forum.
 
On Wednesday, March 14, 2018, more than 200 CBRE Women’s Network members and Chicago-area CBRE employees will work alongside the local Rebuilding Together affiliate, Rebuilding Together Metro Chicago, to provide important upgrades to Ada S. McKinley’s South Side location at1112 E. 87th Street where people with developmental and intellectual disabilities are provided with job readiness and community day services.
 
The volunteer projects at the facility will include patching and painting walls, replacing windows, cleaning and organizing a storage area, replacing office furniture, providing carpentry and plumbing repairs, and painting two murals.
 
"This is one of our largest Shelter Program projects, said Kathleen Thompson, Director of the CBRE Foundation. "The project involves hundreds of members of the CBRE Women's Network, who are here attending their conference in Chicago, and many of our local employees. They are eager to work with Rebuilding Together in making improvements to Ada S. McKinley, and to demonstrate CBRE’s commitment to volunteerism and community service."
 
"Since 2010, CBRE employees have given back to thousands of their neighbors through Rebuilding Together," said Caroline Blakely, President and CEO of Rebuilding Together. "We look forward to once again partnering with CBRE to create an inviting space for Ada S. McKinley and the people they serve."
 
CBRE, through its Shelter Program and partnership with Rebuilding Together, improves neighborhoods and housing for individuals in need. The CBRE Shelter Program is a cornerstone of CBRE Cares, which is the company’s philanthropy program. Please visit our website at www.cbre.com.
