The Art of Reuse

S.C.R.A.P. your clutter for Teachers and Artists – a guest post from my friend, Kat, about one of our favorite donation resources in San Francisco.

SCRAP-stuffThe Art of Reuse

by Katherine Taylor, SCRAP Outreach Coordinator

Do you have arts & crafts materials taking up precious closet space? National Geographics you’re saving for no reason? Breathe new life into your old materials by giving them away in the name of creative reuse!

SF’s best-known secret is SCRAP, the Scrounger’s Center for Reusable Art Parts! We accept donations of potential art supplies and provide them free or at low cost to teachers, artists, and the Bay Area community. We love things like fabric and sewing notions, metal, wood, art tools, paper of all kinds, and materials in bulk that teachers can use.

If you are clearing out space or making room for new hobbies, consider donating materials you no longer need. Donations accepted between 10-4pm, Monday- Saturday. Our depot in Bayview is at 801 Toland St., San Francisco, CA 94124 (entrance on Newcomb). SCRAP offers free pick-up for 6+ boxes!
See our website – www.scrap-sf.org – for a full list of what we accept. Free up space in your office or home and help support SF teachers and artists at the same time!

Your support is vital to help SCRAP build and sustain our role in the community. All donations are tax-deductible. Thanks for your support!
