Donations

We are excited to accept donations that inspire creativity and sustainability. By donating your gently used, clean items, you help provide valuable materials for art projects, community workshops, and educational programs. Our goal is to divert waste from landfills while supporting a culture of resourcefulness and innovation. Please take a moment to review our donation guidelines to ensure your items are suitable and can make the greatest impact on our creative community.
