Bud’s Warehouse: The Basics
Did you know that every time you shop or donate at Bud’s Warehouse you’re directly helping the community? It’s true! Bud’s is a non-profit job-training program funded by sales of new and lightly used building materials donated to the organization. Our faith-based mission is to employ and job-train individuals rebuilding lives from homelessness, addiction and prison through our career and life-skill development program.
All of our program employees at Bud’s Warehouse are facing significant barriers to finding work, including criminal backgrounds, substance abuse or unstable housing situations. Bud’s employees receive vocational and soft-skills trainings while on the job for six months to a year and then after successfully completing the program transition to employment in the community.
Before the store opens in the morning the staff attends training sessions on a variety of different skill building topics including customer service, workplace skills, computer education and job readiness development. Employees are also assisted with resume preparation, job search skills and interviewing tips. Our goal is that every Bud’s Warehouse employee is qualified to transition into full-time, long-term employment at a living wage. This reduces the need for community assistance while also decreasing the likelihood of a return to prison.
Some of our employees are hired directly by Bud’s and others come from a variety of sources. We partner with several county job training programs, transitional housing organizations, and many TANF and community service programs.
Besides supporting employment and job training, extra revenues from Bud’s Warehouse go to the creation of new ventures that employ individuals rebuilding lives. Bud’s has been instrumental in the creation and incubation of several other faith venture businesses including Baby Bud’s, Freedom Cleaning Services, Good Neighbor Garage and most recently New Beginnings Custom Woodwork.
Bud’s Warehouse recycles and sells to the public usable building materials not accepted by regular thrift stores. Area home owners, builders, re-modelers, and suppliers seeking to keep new and used home improvement materials out of the landfill support the organization. Bud’s offers kitchen cabinets, appliances, carpet, hardware, light fixtures, windows, bathtubs, sinks, furniture, and many other building materials.
For more information or to donate tax deductible building supplies, call (303) 296-3990. Bud’s Warehouse is open Monday though Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Bud’s Mainstays…
Bud’s Warehouse receives new donations everyday. We often highlight the exciting donations on our Facebook or Twitter accounts, but sometimes we neglect the more “normal” products coming through the doors. We’ve shown the “jet pack” we got, the smallest washer and dryer we’ve ever seen and who can forget this light switch plate?
In addition to the fun and exciting things on our shelves, Bud’s is always a great place to find those everyday items that every home needs. We’ve always got a great selection of new and used sinks, interior and exterior doors, windows, cabinets and, of course, cabinet doors.
Whether the item you’re looking for is one-of-a-kind or a standard bathroom sink, you’ll find it at Bud’s for up to 70% off retail prices. So, if you’re not in the market for a wedding cake topper, come on down and pick up a hollow interior door for only $10.
As always, Bud’s Warehouse is open to the public. The innovative concept of a home improvement thrift store has become increasingly popular with area homeowners seeking savings of up to 70% on home improvement items while helping others. The organization offers vinyl flooring, marble and granite, doors, kitchen cabinets, appliances, carpet, hardware, light fixtures, windows, cabinet doors, bathtubs, sinks, and many other building materials.

Donations Support Bud’s!
Bud’s Warehouse can help you clean out your basement, garage or storage unit! The mission of Bud’s is supported through product donations from homeowners, contractors and manufacturers. Donated items are resold to the public, keeping tons of materials out of the landfill each year and offering a tax write-off for all eligible donations. If you have enough stuff, we’ll even come and pick it up for you!
