What do art, sea salt, and old fishing nets have in common? They helped fund a full month of cleanups.

In collaboration with local makers and eco-artists, Refoam launched a pop-up market selling upcycled goods, beach-themed prints, and handmade soaps using sustainably harvested sea salt.

Every purchase funded cleanup kits, transportation, and gear for volunteers — and the event became a community magnet.

"The best part was seeing people realize that giving back can also feel joyful," said Leo, Refoam’s Community Engagement Lead.

With over $6,000 raised and countless new volunteers recruited, we’re turning pop-up energy into permanent change.
