Our Annual Salvage Showdown Competition was a Success!

It is a competition. It is an event. And, yes, a fundraiser, too!

A celebration of all things ReBuilding Center, our annual Salvage Showdown gathers 20 local makers, builders, and creatives that love this place, and challenges them to build something amazing with $100 worth of materials from our store and one month to do it. It culminates in a night of live music, food, and drinks where the builds are displayed, and raffled off to community members!

The Salvage Showdown helps support the ReBuilding Center empower homeowner with access to affordable home repair materials and classes, all while keeping usable materials out of the landfill.

The competition this year was off the charts - we were amazed by all of the amazing builds! Congrats to Peter from Sidetracked Workshop for wining this years coveted SCRAPPY AWARD!

His colleague Leo also came ready to compete - and took home the top prize in the Living Room Category. Flora's gorgeous study desk wowed the crowd in the Bedroom Category, and the hardworking TimberFinders made a bench for the Garden Category that stunned us all!
