A simple goal:
Less waste, more creativity.

ReCreate is a Rocklin-based nonprofit with a straightforward mission — collect materials no longer needed by local businesses, and put them back to work in the hands of artists, educators, and kids.

We run a reuse warehouse, a Creative Maker Studio, and education programs that reach schools across the region. Everything we do connects the dots between sustainability and hands-on learning.

Education Programs

Our Reuse Warehouse is full of treasures.

ReCreate collects materials from local businesses that no longer need them — foam, fabric, wood, electronics parts, paper goods, and things you can't even imagine — and sells them at incredibly low prices.

Artists, teachers, sewers, costume-makers, and curious tinkerers shop here for supplies that spark projects you'd never plan in a regular art supply store.

Sunday: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
