Community Programs & Services

We strive to offer programming that is accessible to everyone. We provide a variety of educational programming, including hands-on activities at community events, which give opportunities for young (and old!) minds to play and explore. Come try out an unfamiliar craft or medium, or learn new ways to reuse common items or incorporate reused items into traditional arts and crafts. We aim to make reuse fun and appealing, and to joyfully celebrate the choices people make to incorporate reuse into their lives and conservation decisions.

Free Make & Takes

  • Our creative reuse center is more than a store. It’s a vibrant community hub where all kinds of people can come together to explore and create. We provide free Make & Take workshops in our center to help inspire visitors to look at creative materials in new ways and offer an opportunity to try something new.

  • Head over to our event calendar to see when the next scheduled Make & Take event is!

    If you’re interested in leading a Make & Take, visit our volunteer page to learn how!
