Home ReSource is a nonprofit community sustainability center in Missoula, Montana, with a building materials reuse store and job training, education, and zero waste programs. We believe that an integrated approach to social change that addresses all aspects of sustainability – social, economic, and environmental – is essential to a truly vibrant future. We work with, in, and for the community to reduce waste and build a more vibrant and sustainable local economy. We collect and sell reusable materials, channel materials to those in need, provide meaningful work opportunities, and educate and inspire to promote a sustainable future. We envision a just and vibrant world built on the principles of sustainability where the potential of people, community, and materials is realized. Home ReSource was founded in 2003 by two University of Montana graduates who conceived of a retail operation that reduces construction and demolition waste while contributing to a local, green economy. What started as a volunteer-run building materials reuse center on Kent Street is today a community sustainability center that keeps 900+ tons of material out of the landfill each year, provides materials and services to over half of Missoula households, and has strong community partnerships, efficient operations, and a growing suite of Community Sustainability Programs. As our green business has flourished, our reputation as a sustainability leader has enabled us to develop partnerships and programs that support community-wide waste reduction efforts and focus on broader issues of sustainability. With the retail store as our foundation, we started developing programs designed to address all aspects of sustainability. Today, alongside day-to-day store operations, we have Job Training programs for youth and adults, a Zero Waste Ambassadors Program for 5th graders, community reuse workshops, and Zero Waste programming for civic groups, businesses, and individuals in our community.
