MakeWith Hardware & Learning Center helps people build skills for self-sufficiency and collective resilience in Portland, Oregon and beyond. They offer a curated selection of products, services, and hands-on workshops focused on resilience skills like home maintenance and repair, emergency preparedness, mending, furniture restorations, growing and preserving food, automotive basics, and more. MakeWith collaborates with diverse tradespeople and hobbyists to create an inclusive and supportive place for anyone to learn new skills. Participants build confidence and community connections and learn to extend the life of their possessions, avoid unnecessary purchases, and reduce waste and consumption. MakeWith maintains a pay-it-forward system and offers discounted tickets to people in need. They also maintain a directory of women, queer, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) building contractors and service providers serving residential and commercial customers in the Portland area.
