Hometown Heroes
Evanston businesses are the backbone of our community - interwoven into the fabric of our lives. Each year a great number of these businesses go beyond “being a good neighbor” and become Evanston Hometown Heroes through reinvesting in our community and its members through supporting the city programs, events and special initiatives which make Evanston unique.
This summer as you lounge on the shores of Lake Michigan, explore the Ecology Center or stroll through your neighborhood take time out to support and acknowledge our Hometown Heroes, the businesses which help make Evanston “the most livable city in America.”
