"Home for the Holidays" at Ten Thousand Villages

Join Open Communities on Wednesday, December 9 from 6 PM -8 PM at Ten Thousand Villages, 719 Main St., Evanston, for a festive evening of wine, hors d’oeuvres and dessert and help the agency make just, inclusive and diverse north suburban communities a reality for all – during the holidays and every day!

15% of your purchases of the fair trade items sold by Ten Thousand Villages will benefit Open Communities as well as the artisans who made them. Piano accompaniment by Elli Tancheva as a gift to Open Communities for the agency’s help.

Founded in 1972, Open Communities is the region’s premier fair and affordable housing, economic and social justice organization. Support the agency in providing its free housing services and advocacy to 17 north suburban communities. Read more on its website and pre-purchase your $20 ticket in advance if you’d like -- or pay at the door. An invitation to the event is also on Facebook.
