Are you new to the area and want to explore what your new city has to offer?
Why not come and meet new faces while you give back to your new community here at the ReBuilding Center?
The ReBuilding Center inspires people to value and discover existing resources in order to strengthen the social and environmental vitality of communities.
Every second Thursday of the month, volunteers gather to help make would-be waste materials usable once more. Working with a Salvage Specialist, volunteers de-nail lumber from area DeConstruction sites. DeConstruction is an alternative to demolition that midfully gleans usable building materials from structures that are slated to come down.

We gather afterwards at StormBreaker Brewery (right across the street!) for a happy hour right afterwards. All ReBuilding Center volunteers receive 25% off beers - woohoo!

About ReBuilding Center
Location:
3625 N Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR 97227, US
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.
