Help us Fix our New Home

The RIBs program has found a new home, the old pump station located on the corner of Meadow and W. Buffalo St. The pump station needs a lot of work before RIBs programming can run safely there.

The building has not been used for many years and needs interior and exterior improvements including, but not limited to, the installation of a new roof, interior insulation and dry wall, new fencing, and new doors and windows. We are very excited to refurbish this building as we feel it fits our program goals of reuse and sustainability.

The renovation and refurbishing of our new home is a big job. Unfortunately, RIBs operates on a very small budget so the biggest obstacle we are facing in the renovation is a lack of funding. As we have begun work many people in the community have donated their time and services, either as skilled crafts people or as volunteers for our workdays. The help of these community members has been invaluable to us. We thank you!
