Online Auction November 11-December 2nd:
We’re going big this year with our highest funding goal yet: $50,000! With the opening of our first brick-and-mortar space, we are raising funds to expand repair skill-building, launch a tool lending library, and continue keeping valuable materials out of the landfill.
Check out the incredible items up for bid and join us for the Live Auction Finale at the Reuse & Repair Collective on December 2 during our in-person Community Craft & Film Night in downtown San Diego.
Craft Night:
Join The Reuse & Repair Collective on Giving Tuesday, December 2nd, for a cozy, creative evening dedicated to crafting, cinema, community, and the power of repair! This is a festive event for the whole family and our community!
This special dual-track event allows you to choose your own adventure: craft with community or get inspired by sustainable cinema. Your attendance supports our mission, as all proceeds directly fund our community repair programs and keep valuable goods out of the San Diego landfill.
Room 1: Hands-on Craft Stations
Embroidering & Mending– learn or practice repair and embellishment techniques to give your clothes new life.
Beeswax Wrap Making – make your own reusable food wrap
Free-Flow DIY – bring your own project or use provided materials to create freely at your own pace. We have a lot of upcycled yarn.
Room 2: Zero Waste Film Screening
We’ll be showcasing a Zero Waste Film, sharing the beauty and necessity of circularity and sustainable living. This is the perfect dose of inspiration to wrap up a night of conscious consumption.
Community & Refreshments
Enjoy light refreshments and complimentary plant-forward snack options throughout the evening. This is a wonderful opportunity to mingle with like-minded community members, new neighbors, and celebrate the power of making and community. Choose what you want to do, or do some of both!
