EcoStores Nebraska
Our Story:
Founded in 2005 EcoStores has been a go to location for low cost building materials and household items for over a decade. Based in Lincoln, Nebraska and operating under the non-profit status of The Joslyn Institute for Sustainable Communities, EcoStores has diverted well over 3000 tons of useable materials from Nebraska landfills. Our inventory is created solely through donations and then offered for sale at a fraction of retail cost.
Why We are Fundraising:
In January of 2018 we were informed that our lease would not be renewed, and as a result will have to vacate our current location within a 30 day period. We need your help to continue this valuable service in a new location!
What We Need:
We are seeking a goal of $75,000.
How It Will Be Used:
