NOT WASTED is a job skills training program committed to successful community reentry for womenwho have been incarcerated or in addiction in Summit County. Women in NOT WASTED upcycle materials to create unique, handcrafted products:  moving toward renewed health, attitude, and relationship through Christian principles. We believe in the infinite value of women, and we seek to provide healthy community, training for sustainable employment and dignifying vocation, and providing employment opportunities. We love: upcycling billboards, watches, & bike chains to make beautifully crafted objects; making something out of nothing; realizing that nothing is nothing.

Birthed by T.R.Y. Ministries, & adopted by Holy Spirit Anglican Church, all proceeds fund sustainable change for women in Akron, Ohio.
