***We're temporarily closing ReStore and realize this will effect build time for our upcyclers. The upcycle challenge is postponed. Read our Coronavirus Response page for updates***
We're happy to announce that Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity ReStore is hosting its 3rd Upcycle Challenge! The challenge theme was created around a common problem we all face at one point or another. How do we store and organize our stuff?
Between March 6-28 (2020), you can sign up or learn more about the Storage Solutions Upcycle Challenge by visiting one of our locations. Challengers will transform, upcycle, build, and create solutions to help get organized. Cubbies, cabinets, shelves, hooks, boxes, or any other creative solutions are all fair game. Think about a mess you might have at home, then make a solution!
There is a $20 entry fee when you sign up for the challenge, but we'll provide you with $50 worth of materials or items from our store to help you get started. Challengers often fall in love with their projects, so If you want your project back after the competition is over, we will keep the entry fee. Enjoy your awesome creation! If you don’t return your project for whatever reason, we will keep your fee. It becomes a donation to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. If you don't want your completed project back after the competition, we can give you back the entry fee. We will sell it and the proceeds help support the Twin Cities Habitat mission.
We let YOU decide which is the best project! We will share all entries on our Facebook page, and "likes" on individual photos become votes. Between April 15-21, you can also view and vote for the best project at our Minneapolis location.
Your gift unlocks bright futures! Donate now to create, preserve, and promote affordable homeownership in the Twin Cities.
