Transforming Waste into Community Treasure
Our program focuses on repurposing discarded items through recycling, repair, upcycling, and redistribution to other organizations in our community that need and can use these resources. Join us in our mission to empower nonprofits and businesses to conserve resources and build a stronger, more resilient community together.
