The Rebuilding Center’s big annual fundraiser is on September 18 - the Salvage Showdown! This year, they're transforming the store for one amazing evening, hosting up to 180 guests for a seated dinner in our lumberyard - it's going to be super fun! The Showdown is a celebration of creative reuse and it's also a competition - up to 20 builders spend one month turning $100 of reclaimed materials into gorgeous pieces of functional art - furniture, wall hangings, sculptures - that we auction off at the event and award one Best in Show to the winner of a public vote! 

Proceeds from the Showdown help us continue to keep millions of pounds of useful material out of landfills, maintain our low prices, and empower homeowners with affordable repair skills classes. Since the store only covers 60% of our expenses, we rely on the Showdown to make sure our sustainable reclaimed materials remain affordable and accessible for everyone.
