Calling all DIYers and Crafters!

We are looking for project makers for 2023 auction items, and we need your help. If you are a DIYer (anything from beginner to experienced), crafter, or you just love a good side project, we are looking for people like you! Our project makers channel their inner creativity, hunt through our ReStore for RePurpose projects, and comb through Pinterest to find ideas to make fun and innovative RePurpose projects. You can be a part of the fun by becoming a project maker!

Here's how it works:
1. Create an item of your own. Do you have excess crafting or building materials around your home? Turn them into something fun and donate it to RePurpose for a Reason to be auctioned off during the event! To the right are a couple of  hand-crafted projects from the past to inspire you. ​

2. Check out an item or piece from the ReStore. Browse the ReStore for the perfect project(s) to check out, with a value of $75 or less. Take your item(s) home and "repurpose" them into something new! When your item is ready, bring it back to the ReStore to be included in the silent auction. Just make sure to bring it back by October 28th so we can catalog and image your masterpiece.

How Does RePurpose for a Reason Help Our Mission?

RePurpose for a Reason is truly driven by meaningful impact. All proceeds directly impact the Greater Green Bay Habitat for Humanity Homeownership Program, and 100% of the money raised during the event supports building decent, affordable homes in Brown County and Greater Green Bay, Wisconsin. Events like RePurpose for a Reason are a critical funding arm to supporting our mission and our Homeownership Program.

Habitat Partner Families are not given a home for free; applicants must meet the requirements and they must have a need, the ability to pay for their affordable 0% interest-free mortgage, and be willing to partner with us to fulfill their 500 sweat equity hours (or 250 hours for a single family household). With our Homeownership Program, we fund the upfront cost of building a new home, and our Habitat Partner Families purchase their home once construction is complete - making events like this a significant factor in helping us achieve our mission. 

Did we mention how RePurpose for a Reason encourages upcycling, keeps items out of the landfill, and gives ReStore items a second life? Check out all of the amazing things the ReStore does to make an impact in our community by visiting the ReStore's page.​
