The practice of reuse and repair is a practice of sharing. It inspires a sense of interconnectedness, a feeling that we are all part of a continuum, creating something new together. We celebrate this joyful reciprocity as an important path toward equity, justice, and caring. This is the heart of COMMUNITY.
ReBuilding Center could not exist without our community of team members, volunteers, new guests, old friends, donors, and partners. Thank you EVERYONE for who you are and what you do!
Our team is our greatest strength. In heat, cold, rain, and pandemic, they drive the trucks, haul the goods, help the guests, teach the classes, and coordinate the volunteers. Our team IS ReBuilding Center, and we strive to live our mission everyday.
Our volunteers are our lifeblood. They de-nail lumber, prep materials, assist the staff, and so much more. They help us go beyond our walls and into the neighborhood for our annual Day of Service.
Our donors are our fuel. They give us the funds and the materials to do our work and make sure reuse and repair are affordable, accessible options for everyone.
Our guests, new and old alike, are why we are here. To open our doors to an even wider community, over the next year and with your support we aim to:
Post BILINGUAL signage
Design our new shop for people with a wider RANGE of ABILITIES
Grow our volunteer pool, so that we can expand neighborhood OUTREACH, increasing our Day of Service to multiple Days of Service throughout the year.
Make sure the people who need affordable materials know we’re here through thoughtful marketing and PARTNERSHIPS with our non-profit allies.
This is the third piece of our ReBuilding for Justice Campaign. Over the next few weeks, we will lay out the rest and show you how they all fit together.
YOU and your support are the most important piece of all, because together is how we will build that better tomorrow.
Please consider joining us today by making a gift to our ReBuilding for Justice Campaign.
