About the ReSource ReUse Store
ReSource ReUse Store was a non profit retail store, accepting donations of used and surplus building materials and home products and reselling them to the public at a fraction of retail prices. ReSource was established in 2013 as a collaboration between the Greater Chequamegon Bay Area Habitat for Humanity Chapter and the Alliance for Sustainability. In 2019 the Greater Chequamegon Bay Area Habitat for Humanity Chapter closed its doors and ReSource become a sole project of the Alliance for Sustainability. In 2024 the building that housed ReSource was sold and we lost our lease. Having not been able to find a suitable site to relocate in the short timeline, ReSource was forced to close its door permanently.
Donations for ReSource were accepted under the Alliance for Sustainability 501c3. All proceeds benefit the overall mission of the Alliance for Sustainability.
Our store values were:
Since opening in July 2013, ReSource prevented tons of reusable materials from being thrown away while at the same time helping countless people make home improvements that might otherwise be unaffordable. The many thanks we receive tell us we are making a difference.
ReSource believed everyone in our community should be able to make a place they celebrate as home. We kept our prices intentionally low to make this possible.
