Event Descriptions 

• Annual Fundraiser: Come meet your favorite Atlanta chefs and enjoy their culinary creations made with local, organic ingredients while you network with our passionate community and compete for unique prizes, including hand-crafted items made from reclaimed materials.  

• Open Houses: Join LBC customers, supporters and neighborhood leaders from Southwest Atlanta and across the city for special material discounts, all while learning more about LBC’s mission, our partners, our impact and the history of our facility.

• Festivals: Volunteers who “table” at community events have the opportunity to share the mission of LBC, promote LBC educational offerings, encourage material donations and grow awareness of our Reuse Center & Store. 

• Home Performance Workshops: LBC’s FREE Home Performance Workshop Series helps homeowners better understand the conditions which impact their home’s efficiency, durability, safety and indoor air quality. LBC staff members also guide participants through hands-on exercises that  enable them to identify problems and implement solutions. 

• Do-It-Yourself Workshops: LBC’s FREE Do-It-Yourself Workshop series taps into the creative want-to-build community in Atlanta; participants learn  both material deconstruction and build skills in this varied series that has previously addressed re-purposing pallets as both décor and furnishings,  small garden design-build projects and many other amazing and imaginative, ‘what-can-you-create’ workshops, centered on innovative material reuse.
