History

Pastor Willie J. Sams had a vision for the people of his community. He wanted to create a space for the people of the community worthy of their esteem. The objective was to provide social services, a superior food service and hospitality experience, that doubled as opportunities to facilitate impactful programs that would put individuals and families on a secure road to success. 

Having 42 years of experience in the construction industry, Sams himself facilitated construction of the new building in the capacity of General Contractor. In 2008, the building was completed and it is located at 4628 West Washington Blvd. Housed in the new building is office space suitable to run multiple businesses and a beautiful ballroom along with a state-of-the-art kitchen.

NEBC Employment Resource Services is a not-for-profit organization in good standing with the Illinois Secretary of State, recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3), and was organized as a charitable organization in November of 1998. Located in the heart of the West Side, near Cicero and Madison, it has executed on its commitment to its neighbors and the greater Chicago area by providing a variety of services for youth, persons with disabilities, and, historically, adults and seniors.
