RenewAll and HCM's Sustainable Impact

The day kicked off with a burst of creativity at with Huntington Children's Museum. Families engaged in a variety of activities that not only entertained but also educated. The museum's (now) annual gingerbread house fundraiser came back to Central City, emphasizing sustainability through upcycled creations.

The collaboration with RenewAll Inc. brought a sustainable touch to the festivities. The gingerbread house fundraiser, an upcycled activity, showcased how RenewAll threads small business, art, and sustainability efforts in Central City. Families and individuals embraced the challenge of crafting gingerbread houses from recycled materials, transforming a beloved tradition into a statement of environmental consciousness. Small Business Saturday served as a day to drop off these made gingerbread houses and deliver them to shop windows.
