Students help Rebuilding Center serve community |
|
A group of Mt. Scott students provide regular monthly service at The Rebuilding Center, the nation's largest non-profit reuse center for salvaged construction and remodeling materials. Founded by volunteers in 1998, The ReBuilding Center has become a recognized leader in Oregon and the world for diverting waste for reuse and recycling in a way that maximizes the social, environmental, and economic benefits to the community. The ReBuilding Center currently diverts 8 tons of reusable building materials from landfills each day (almost 6 million pounds annually). Student volunteers assist the center in many ways, including carrying donated building materials into the warehouse, sorting materials (trim, lumber, electrical supplies, lighting), sweeping, measuring doors and helping in the administrative office. As a non-profit organization, The Rebuilding Center relies heavily on volunteers, and the center's staff regularly comment about the help of the Mt. Scott students. "Thank you (Mt. Scott students) so much for your continued efforts in the warehouse," writes a Rebulding Center representative. "Your consistent hard work and commitment really are a huge asset to our very big operation. It is so inspiring to see a group so willing to serve their community."
