Mark Your Calendar!
Buffalo ReUse and the Building Materials Reuse Association (BMRA) are sponsoring the first Great Lakes Deconstruction Conference in Buffalo on November 16, 17 & 18, 2008.
Please join us for this informative get-together. We’ll explore the use of deconstruction, building materials reuse, vacant lot management and other creative solutions to address issues unique to abandoned housing and vacant lots in Great Lakes urban centers. Click here for detailed information.
Funds Needed for ReSOURCE!

Neighborhood Peace Murals
Thirty classes and youth organizations around the city have volunteered to paint images onto 4′x8′ plywood panels which will secure a vacant house in the neighborhood of their schools. We’re still in need of buckets of 6″ screws and ADULTS with ladders, power drills, trucks and muscle to help secure these panels beginning March 15th. Please contact us at or call 716–885–4131
Extended Store Hours!
We’re now open Tuesday through Saturday 7:30am to 5pm at 298 Northampton Street, between Masten and Jefferson. Northampton is off Main St just across from the Delta Sonic Car Wash and the new ARTSPACE! There’s a Post Office at the corner.
Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers will always be a critical component of our organization and we’ve brainstormed a list of exciting projects. Please review the list of projects at the linked page and send an email to to get involved. We’re eager to bring new ideas and energy into the organization.
