About us

We stopped talking and started building.

reTHink, Inc. is a community non-profit cultivating health for people and planet across the Wabash Valley.

Our story

reTHink began with a simple, stubborn question: what if a single neighborhood decided to stop waiting for someone else to fix things?

Since 2014 that question has grown into classrooms full of curious kids, two free food gardens, and a store where families can swap toxic, plastic-wrapped products for cleaner ones without changing their budget or their routines.

We are a non-profit organization. Every dollar is invested back into the community through youth education, free food community gardens, and our zero-waste store.

Our mission

To reduce waste, improve community health, and educate the next generation — one household, one classroom, and one garden bed at a time.

Our vision

A Wabash Valley where clean food, non-toxic products, and environmental education are normal, affordable, and available to everyone.

Impact you can count

Since 2014, neighbors like you have turned small everyday swaps into measurable change across the Wabash Valley.
