Nice News’ February 2023 Cause of the Month

Nice News’ February Cause of the Month is Chicago Eco House, a Black-led nonprofit with a mission to alleviate poverty through sustainability.

Chicago Eco House operates four flower farms and a flower shop in the Windy City as well as one farm in Detroit, all of which employ local residents, particularly at-risk youth. Flowers are sourced from farms with a commitment to renewable energy and the utilization of rainwater irrigation systems; organic material is composted onsite; and the company uses recyclable, reusable, and biodegradable materials wherever possible.

All profits go directly toward the mission of combating poverty in Chicago’s communities through sustainable practices, including providing job training for young people. Read more about the cause here.
