I do not have words to express my gratitude for Mark Paffel, without whose help I could not have kept the store alive through COVID. Remember the days we were open FIVE DAYS A WEEK!!

We are pleased that our very last customer, surprised to find nothing left in the store, left well served with cake!

A big thank you to all the volunteers that helped clear out the store yesterday!!

Come celebrate our last day at the ReSource store, this Saturday April 13th. Doors open at 10:00 am and we will be there til the shelves are empty and the floors are swept. Enjoy some Coco’s cake, grab the last of the treasures (everything left is now free) and pick up a broom as we celebrate the end of a 10 year storyline of the little store that could (and with all your help did!!). Anyone want to bring in some live music to make it a real party!?!

Thank you so very much to everyone who helped find homes for the many many items crammed into the store. Special thanks to Crossroads, the Shelter Shop, our area Homeless Shelters, the Hayward Habitat Habitat for Humanity ReStore, the Ashland Goodwill, area teachers and all the other non profits who accepted truck loads of items.

I am so proud to say that ReSource is very empty and so is the 30 yard dumpster parked outside the store. The dumpster will barely be half full when we are done. You all helped us live our values to the very end - keeping ALL reusable items out of the landfill. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is the best goodbye gift you could have given!!

Til we meet again…

With love and hope,
Christine

5 Days Left Before Our Door Close for Good! We are open all week from 10 to 5!

Lots of treasures still in the store! Bookshelves, peg board, antique furniture, lanterns, light fixtures, mirrors, vintage sinks, and much more. Don’t wait, come get it now!! Things are heading to the dumpster Saturday! (We are working hard to donate remaining items to local nonprofits - but we need your help getting them there! Please stop by and pick up items on your way through town.)

We are also selling the stores shelving, including a 10’ x 8’ pallet rack. Come check it out!

Learn more about the 10 year history of ReSource and all the people who made it possible. The store only ever existed because of the dedication of our entire community.
It's a little store our community's big heart created together, and together we made an even bigger difference.

As part of the celebration of ReSource in its final days, I would love it if everyone posted pictures of favorite items you found at the store.

Many thanks to the Ashland Daily Press for sharing our story.

Sincerely,
Christine Kelly
ReSource Manager

The idea of the ReSource ReUse Store was birthed in spring 2012 over a big pot of soup while a house full of Christine Kelly’s new friends and colleagues gathered
