Help ReCreate Transform Trash into Treasure!

At ReCreate, we believe in making creativity blossom and overflow—into our community and away from landfills. Our mission is to inspire creativity, reduce waste, and provide access to hands-on, sustainable maker education. We make art from discarded materials and provide a space where imagination knows no bounds.
Why Support ReCreate?
Environmental Impact: Each year, we divert about 65 tons of usable but unwanted materials from entering landfills. With your help, we can continue to grow this impact, turning trash into treasure and making art from what others throw away.
Educational Outreach: Our programs have reached over 150,000 students, bringing hands-on, STEAM-based learning directly to classrooms. We inspire students to explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math through creative reuse, helping them see potential where others see waste. Teachers tell us we are the highlight of their students' school year!
Community Engagement: ReCreate is a happy place for so many in our community. We provide a safe, welcoming space for all ages to explore different art forms without the burden of high costs. From our craft thrift store to our creative maker studio, we are committed to making art accessible and affordable for everyone.
Inspiration and Joy: Our visitors often rediscover the joy of making something with their hands. Whether it’s a parent rekindling a creative spark while helping their child or an adult diving into a new project with recycled materials, ReCreate is a place where creativity buzzes and inspiration is always within reach.
