Building Material Reuse Donation

Have extra materials from your latest building or remodeling project?

This event will be an opportunity to donate usable building materials to a local nonprofit that specialize in the reuse and resale of building materials. Better Futures Minnesota will be onsite to vet all materials for quality and potential for resale. Our partners reserve the right to refuse unusable materials. All items deemed acceptable will be taken for free.
