Bud’s Warehouse was established with the mission of offering meaningful employment to individuals with alternative resumes—people who had faced barriers to employment. We’ve been maintaining this mission since 1994.

At its core, Bud’s is more than just a home improvement thrift store where donations from local contractors, builders, suppliers, and homeowners receive a second life. The true impact of Bud’s goes beyond the shelves. The store’s mission is built on three important principles:

• RECYCLE – Giving building materials a second chance instead of sending them to the landfill.
• REUSE – Helping homeowners create beautiful, budget-friendly spaces with reclaimed materials.
• REBUILD – Providing job training, skill development, and a second chance for individuals ready to transform their lives.

Through our job training program, which includes life-skills development, professional development and a supportive work environment, Bud’s has empowered countless individuals to move forward—whether that means securing better-paying jobs, pursuing a college education, or starting careers in the trades.

Check out these short stories of transformation from employees who have found a fresh start through the job training program at Bud’s. Their experiences show the power of perseverance, second chances, and the impact of a community that believes in rebuilding more than just homes—but also lives.

Current floor manager, Kenny, highlights the skills he has learned through his time at Bud’s. As you might notice, Kenny brings so much light to Bud's, especially with his bright smile that he shares with all.
