Upcycling for a cause: ReStore Upcycle Challenge Auction to support local affordable housing
La PINE, Ore. (KTVZ) — Habitat for Humanity of La Pine Sunriver is thrilled to announce the opening of our ReStore Upcycle Challenge Auction — a community-driven, creative competition that blends sustainability, artistry, and philanthropy.
The online auction will be live through December 19, with proceeds supporting Habitat’s mission to build and preserve affordable housing in southern Deschutes County.
Local artisans, DIYers, and creative community members have taken on the challenge of transforming everyday ReStore items into extraordinary, functional works of art. From reimagined furniture to whimsical décor, each upcycled item showcases the talent and eco-conscious spirit of our community.
Bidding with Purpose
Hosted online, the Upcycle Challenge Auction is open to all, with a wide variety of upcycled pieces available for bidding. Every dollar raised will go directly toward Habitat’s efforts to create safe, stable housing for families and individuals in need.
