Non Profit organization. Gorge Rebuild-it Center is a project of the Columbia Gorge Earth Center, a 501(c)(3) corporation located in Hood River, Oregon. The Earth Center’s mission is to “Promote the link between ecology, economy and community in the Columbia River Gorge”. GRC is structured as a non-profit, yet our store operates from sales revenue and financial contributions.
Affordable Housing: Gorge Rebuild-it Center improves affordable housing by: (1) providing low-cost building materials, (2) advocating for energy-efficiency in housing design.
Outreach: Our project serves as a model for innovative rural reuse opportunities. In furtherance of our commitment to sharing that experience, our non-profit parent (Columbia Gorge Earth Center) is looking forward to the 8th annual Enviro House Tour, which is scheduled for October 2009.
Pick up Service: We offer to pick up sizable donations of building materials within the Mid-Columbia area. We are limited at any time by (1)our staffing and (2) the usefulness of the item(s) relative to our limited capacity to store. Likewise, we may charge a pick-up fee. Call our store for more updated info about that (541)-387-4387
