materials donation
Thank you for considering a materials donation!
Please review the following lists of what we do and do not accept before taking the time to drop off at the store. We are a small team and very much appreciate the generosity, but do not have the same capacity as your average thrift store.
Yes, donate creative materials that are:
- Clean
- New or gently used
- Only slightly damaged (with a lot of life left!)
No thanks, please find an alternative donation spot for materials that are:
- More appropriate for a standard thrift store (personal care, medical devices, clothes, furniture, toys, etc)
- Leaky, toxic, unlabeled, hazardous, or dangerous
- Moldy, smelly, dirty, smoke or insect damaged
