What We Offer
The Last Sheaf Building Materials Exchange offers a variety of new, used, and salvaged building materials, tools, and supplies at greatly reduced prices.
Who Is It For
Anyone can shop at the BME and take advantage of the great prices we offer, but the greatest discounts are reserved for low income homeowners and those most in need.
Our Mission
Our mission is to benefit low-income homeowners, and to reduce waste in the environment by repurposing surplus building materials, enabling low income homeowners to better maintain their homes.
Why “The Last Sheaf?”
The Last Sheaf is a reference from the Bible where God says:
When you reap your harvest in your field, and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
Deuteronomy 24:19 (NKJV)
We are engaging in a 21st century application of this passage. Just as in biblical times the last sheaves of grain from a harvest were to be left behind to benefit the needy, we are taking leftover building materials, tools, and supplies and making them available at greatly reduced prices to those in need.
