Spring On the Road: South to Salem

This tour will take us south to Salem, where we will start the day at the Covanta Marion Energy-from-Waste facility, the only one of its kind in Oregon. followed by a tour of Garten Services Materials Recovery Facility a non-profit organization that provides vocational, day activity and retirement services for people with developmental disabilities and long-term mental illness.


We'll have lunch at Christos after which we will take a spin over to The Northwest HUB, a not-for-profit full service bicycle shop, bike reclamation program and training center. Proceeds from their cycling center directly serve neighbors in need of transportation who "purchase" a bike through service to the community. Volunteers help reclaim bicycles that would otherwise be scrapped or end up in the landfill. 


We will end the day with a tour of Sparrow Furniture a reclaimed/repurposed furniture store that helps refugees to overcome barriers to employment by providing them with the opportunity for paid training and language acquisition in a business that crafts one of a kind and culturally inspired repurposed furniture, lighting and décor for the creative consumer.
