Purpose & Mission statement

Re:Nue is the social enterprise arm of The Salvation Army with a heart for serving the community.  At the core of what we do is a commitment to sustainability and uplifting lives. We channel our efforts into creating positive change by repurposing and reselling donations generously given by individuals and corporations.  This not only reduces waste but also allows us to generate vital income that supports holistic care for those in need.  With every item we receive, and every purchase made, partnering with The Salvation Army we are able to give back meaningfully – empowering beneficiaries and strengthening the community we serve with compassion and purpose.
