When you walk in, Anchorage re:MADE may look like just a vintage home goods store, but it's so much more than that. re:MADE stores offer entrepreneurs, artists, and volunteers a retail location to remake donated items that otherwise would have gone to the landfill. We empower entrepreneurs to reach their dreams of business ownership by educating and coaching, providing a support system, and helping them find and grow their talents and skills.

Anchorage re:MADE is a non-profit organization.
What makes us different? Our ‘profits’ go back into the community, providing services for Alaskan who want to keep usable goods out of the landfill, have community and earn supplemental income. We believe in creating purpose through repurposing. Doing Life. Better Together.

To create change in the community through small business start-ups: Artists, entrepreneurs, and people with barriers to employment, have the opportunity to volunteer and sell their products in our retail store. In our café, we provide people who have a dream of owning a food service business with a place to begin with very little capital, coaching, and packaging. Many have moved on to open food trucks, catering businesses, or restaurants.
Impacting the environment: We prevent usable goods from going into the landfill and teach people how to earn income by repairing, repainting, and repurposing. We have partnered for nine years with the City of Anchorage Solid Waste Services for on-site collection.
Repurposing resources: We work with corporations to remanufacture items they were discarding, such as surgical blue wrap made into paint drop cloths and totes. Misprinted t-shirts and hoodies are repurposed. Outdated clothing is used to fill footstools made from upholstery samples.
Responding to community needs: Whether it is high school students or the court system referring adults to do community service to learn life lessons, special needs students attending four days a week during the school year to learn life skills, seniors through the MASST program job training, opportunities for mission teams from the lower 48 to serve, agencies needing furniture to house the homeless, or someone who wants to give back.
