The
UPCYCLE
What does it mean to “upcycle”?
ASK YOURSELF, “can this item continue to be used, even though I don’t need it or want it?” Upcycling keeps items out of landfills and provides a low-cost alternative to “over-consumption”.
About The Upcycle
The Upcycle is a new store in Highland Park, NJ that features items donated by the general public and sold at affordable prices. In an economy that continues to see prices skyrocket, we need second-hand stores more than ever!
All profits from the store will support I-RISE refugee and low-income clients.

A grand day for a Grand Opening!
The Upcycle was officially welcomed on July 17, 2025 to the Highland Park business district! The event wouldn’t have been complete without a comical ribbon cutting. Thanks to all who have made the newest Global Grace Venture a reality. The store is located at 127 Raritan Ave. in HP. Stop by and have a look!
