How financial donations help

Donations will be used to provide professional development or membership scholarships to help teachers, children, parents, and artists.

$250 donation keeps a truckload of great materials, like binders, poster board, and art supplies, out of the waste stream

$400 donation covers the cost of a full day of operation; including being open 9 hours for teachers and other members to shop.

$500 donation helps 600 pounds of materials find their way into schools.

$1,200 donation helps us make 6 pick-ups and save 4,700 cubic feet of material from going into a landfill (about 6 classrooms filled floor to ceiling).
