What We Do:
We provide waste prevention and resource recovery services for the community while supporting economically disadvantaged individuals and families. Our work includes distributing usable goods and providing services related to housing stability, nutrition, disability support, and homelessness.
We salvage usable goods, equipment, tools, building materials, furniture, appliances, and food for reuse, repair, redistribution, or responsible recycling. Items are accepted in a wide range of conditions. When possible, we repair or restore donated items and place them back into productive use rather than sending them to landfill.
Food that is safe for consumption is distributed directly to families and community partners such as senior centers, shelters, and local food banks. Food that is no longer suitable for people is routed to animal care partners to prevent unnecessary waste.
We also provide hands-on skills training in basic repair, restoration, organization, and reuse. These skills support both individual self-sufficiency and successful community service placements.
In exchange for donations, contributors receive a tax-deductible receipt and the assurance that their materials are being used to benefit people and the environment. Before discarding usable items, we encourage community members and businesses to consider donation and reuse. Please contact us to schedule a pickup or learn more.
