Building Shabbona Together is a non-profit organization created to help promote community development, to help raise funds for the purposes of promoting and developing the Shabbona Community, and to assist in creating economic development in and around the Village of Shabbona.
Our mission is to work together to improve the quality of life by investing in Shabbona's community, businesses, and infrastructure to create a thriving and sustainable future for all.
Volunteers are welcome! If you are interested in helping to build our community into the thriving environment we know it is, contact us at buildingshabbonatogether [at] gmail.com.
Full committee meetings are on the 3rd Thursday of the January/March/May/July/September/November at 6:30pm in the Quilhot Room at Resource Bank in Shabbona (unless otherwise posted). Sub committee meetings are held February/April/June/August/October time, date, and locations determined by sub-committees.
One of the first projects that Building Shabbona Together (BST) is undertaking is to help bring the vision for Purdy Park to life.
The goal is to make Purdy Park a welcoming atmosphere where the community can gather together for festivals, events, and family time. The land that makes up Purdy Park was generously donated to the Village of Shabbona by Robert "Doc" and Lois Purdy in 2022.
