This weekend Buffalo ReUse launches ReSource, its new headquarters and warehouse space for retailing building materials salvaged from demolished houses. Located at 298 Northampton Street, ReSource offers lumber, sinks, bathtubs, doors, windows, spindles—really just about anything that goes into (or can come out of) a house, at beyond reasonable prices. It will also serve as a de facto community and education center. On Friday evening at 7pm, Paul T. Hogan, vice president of the John R. Oishei Foundation, will offer a toast to ReSource, after which they’ll knock the door in. Entertainment is provided by Emcee Sick, and there will be a a screening of the Sundance Channel’s Big Ideas for a Small Planet episode featuring Buffalo ReUse, plus refreshments catered by Baker Victory Services WAY Program. All day Saturday there will be tours of the new facility and exhibits on sustainable themes: worm farming, sun-baked cookies, green roofs, a bike clinic, and more. Plus live music by Red and Roxy and Flatbed, and—weather be damned—a barbecue.
