a community space for an equitable future
Re:Purpose provides services for communities under one roof
Community Centers should provide more service for more people. We developed Re:Purpose to be a convenient location where anyone with a need can get almost everything they need.
Re:Grow
Our urban gardens use the latest in hydroponic, aquaponic, light and soil based techniques to supply fresh produce for food pantries, co-ops and direct to neighbor options via our on-site farmers market. We offer training in urban agriculture and sustainability giving small growers, farmers and students an alternative to sell their harvested items.
Re:store
Our market serves as both a co-op pantry and thrift store where neighbors not only have access to donated food and clothing items at no cost, but offers locally sourced (right from our Re:Grow gardens and via community partners) nutritious food for purchase using their Debit/Credit, SNAP EBT, WIC, Medicaid and other benefits at affordable prices.
Re:form
Our Free "Teaching" Clinic offers subsidized care for any primary medical, veterinary or mental health needs including vaccinations, check ups, counseling and wellness workshops (mindfulness, stress reduction, fitness, rehabilitation, resilience building and nutrition) for those that qualify. We host support groups with certified personnel.
Re:Work
We provide workforce training in agriculture at our Re:Grow garden center, retail training and volunteer management at our Re:Store shop, tutoring services for families in need and social services training through our Re:Form and Re:Source clinics and offices.
Re:Source
We take the leg work, literally and figuratively, of seeing if a neighbor qualifies for the benefits they deserve including providing application services for TEFAP, SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, Disability, Student Financial Aid and more. We also help community service organizations and individuals with grants and non-profit/NGO business services to make our collective mission for a better planet for all people a reality.
"our mission is not to offer a hand out, but a hand up.
our vision is to provide an experience that is equitable, dignified and measurable for our planet, communities and neighbors."
