Home ReSource Featured Items of the Week!

July 24, 2020

New Faces – and Paws!

We are excited to welcome three new reuse specialists – Beverly, Blair, and Corbin – to our team! All three are passionate about reuse, and we are so grateful to have their help. Missoula is alive with home improvement and backyard projects as people socially distance and grow personally closer to their living spaces, and with that extra fix-it-up energy we have seen a steady stream of Home ReSource patrons. It's because of you that we can keep our doors open, help projects get rolling and continue hiring excellent people.

We are working hard to continue spreading our reach despite the challenges of COVID-19. New Home ReSource team members are so incredibly key to keep up with the substantial (and powerfully good) material donations we receive from our community. Our mission of moving towards Zero Waste is very much alive, and new team members always remind us of the widespread support Missoula has for that mission.

You may have noticed another Home ReSourcer palling around the store – Rufus! This half-pitbull half-german shepherd pup will be leading you through the featured items this week.

Thank you for shopping with us, and thank you for all the other ways you support waste reduction and sustainability in Missoula. If you see the new staff around the store feel free to introduce yourselves! We want to extend a big Home ReSource welcome to the new folks.

The Volunteers Return!

We have finalized our COVID-19 volunteer safety protocols and are inviting anyone who has volunteered in the past to come in and lend a hand! We take this virus seriously, and in practicing social distancing and limiting staff and volunteers over the past few months we have accumulated a relatively large amount of sorting, cleaning and denailing that needs doing!

Volunteer orientations will be hosted in the Home ReSource community room every Wednesday and Friday at 1pm.

If you are interested in volunteering or attending an orientation please email jackson@homeresource.org!

Spontaneous Construction (SponCon) is an annual Home ReSource event and beloved Missoula tradition now in its 16th year. SponCon is a building contest and celebration of reuse in which teams compete to build their greatest creations out of Home ReSource materials. The event is the nittiest, grittiest, smashin-est, bashin-est, clangin-est, bangin-est, creativist, barbaloot savin-est party in town! 

SponCon 2020 will take place on Saturday, September 12th. The event will look a little different in order to keep everyone safe and healthy, but we are still going to have a great time. The Home ReSource team is hard at work aligning the event with COVID-19 guidelines, while preserving the spirit and celebration of creative reinvention paramount to the festivities.

Team registration is OPEN. Teams of all kinds are welcome, regardless of experience level. Sign up today to reserve your spot and take part in this unique community event!

Stay safe and healthy Missoula. We appreciate all those that have enthusiastically joined us in our efforts from the beginning to keep everyone safe in our community by continuing to wear masks and wash hands upon entry at Home ReSource. 

What can you create by choosing to reuse? Whether transforming an old piano into a coffee table, stringing upcycled paper beads into a necklace, or reimagining scrap materials into a sculpture, repurposing is an exciting and crafty way to keep stuff out of the landfill. Register to submit your creative reuse project(s) at the Western Montana Fair today!
