Reconsidered Goods newsletter January 2020


The end of 2019 got away from me, but we did have a great year at RG!  We've grown in every way possible! A BIG thank you to our customers and our donors. We are successful because of you. Our yearly total was 113.09 TONS of materials donated to RG that were given a life of reuse instead of heading for the landfill!!!!

This month we are highlighting one of our great volunteers. Many of you may know Kathy Clark. She is a local activist/icon and may have sprinkled glitter on you while she was dressed as a gold statue at a local festival. Kathy brings her passion for sustainability and the community to her volunteer shift each week and we love having her on the RG volunteer team. Thanks for all that you do, Kathy!
