ReStore Upcycle Challenge

ReStore’s Upcycle Challenge is a great chance for you to flex your creative muscles, show off your DIY skills, and take part in ReStore’s green mission.

How It Works

How the Upcycle Challenge Works

  • Purchase items from ReStore
  • Upcycle those purchases
  • Post your progress on our Upcycle Challenge Facebook event page
  • Check back in April to see our winner

Come into the ReStore and purchase items to upcycle and renovate. Post pictures to our Facebook event page as you work, and stay tuned for the announcement of our winners in April. First place prize is a $200 credit to the ReStore. After the contest ends, participants can donate their project to the ReStore to help fund affordable housing in Linn and Benton Counties, or keep it for themself.

Share Your Progress

Show Us Your Creativity

Participants can share as many photos of their process as they’d like, detailing any steps taken as part of the makeover! For those without Facebook, photos can be sent to community@cvhabitat.org with the subject line “Upcycle Challenge”.

We can’t wait to see the creativity of the ReStore community!
