A unique community resource, Reconsidered Goods is a nonprofit organization that promotes environmental awareness, community engagement, and creative expression through reuse, education, and the arts. The organization accepts donated materials from individuals, businesses, and industries and gives them a new life through its retail store and education maker space at 4118 Spring Garden Street. Teachers, makers, crafters, and artisans have access to affordable reused and repurposed goods diverted from landfills.


“Reconsidered Goods works hard to provide a welcoming artistic community to all Triad residents. As board members, we are privileged to coordinate the puzzle pieces behind the scenes to uphold our mission and values. I am eager to give back to my community through my board service. Come visit us at RG – I promise you will be hooked.”

As part of a new strategic planning process, Ms. Bergevin has collected community input through an online survey resulting in over 900 responses. “The positive feedback has been overwhelming.
