Mission Statement
ReBuilding Center builds community resilience in the Portland region by ensuring access to affordable reclaimed home improvement materials, reuse education, and repair skills so people can be self-sufficient and reduce waste.
Description
ReBuilding Center is a climate justice organization on a mission to make reuse and repair accessible to all as a means to reduce waste, end overconsumption, and empower homeowners and renters by making better use of our existing resources.
We know that the ability to perform home repairs is one of the key factors in keeping people safe in their homes and resilient in the face of climate change, especially people living with low incomes. We also know that a tremendous amount of useful building and construction materials fill up our landfills every year. We connect this material to the people who need it, and teach folks how to repair instead of replace.
