Here's how The Reuse Project connects to both community & economic activity:
Production event in Whittier (involving attendees that Junket brought into the community - and to a community business - on January 22, 2026.

1. Immediate benefits to community members

  • materials, tools, and hosted space to make things together
  • skill-building (mending, making, reuse systems)
  • social connection + local collaboration

2. Optional economic upside

  • opportunities to contribute to production that may generate revenue
  • potential pathways to paid roles, revenue share, or independent selling (as things develop)
  • visibility into how materials move from intake → product → sale

3. What I gain (as founder and owner of Junket: Tossed & Found: )

  • some activities may support product development and sales
  • that revenue helps sustain the infrastructure (materials, tools, events, coordination)
  • ability to test and refine a reuse-based, community-scale supply model
  • I retain ownership & direction of the business

4. Guardrails

  • participation is always voluntary
  • not all activities are tied to revenue
  • I will clearly signal when something connects to the economic side
  • goal = non-extractive, shared-value system
