Our Partners
Rochester Greenovation partners with a number of local non-profits. We help each other fill in gaps in services for our community.
Cooperative arrangements
We’re partnering with Riverside Creative Collective, a collective of artists and non-profits who rent studios on the second floor of our building.
The Catholic Family Service refugee program gets 50% off everything they buy.
Helping non-profits raise money
We have special arrangements with several non-profit organizations to help them raise money. When you donate items to benefit the following charities, half goes to the charity. Just let us know when you bring in the items.
Asbury First United Methodist Ministries
Asbury’s Community Outreach Center’s services include free meals, groceries, clothes, household goods, laundry, showers, haircuts, bicycle repairs, and a free medical clinic. You can designate Asbury as a beneficiary when you donate items to Greenovation.
Keeping Our Promise, Inc.
