Papercraft and scrapbooking supplies.

If you have unused craft or scrapbooking supplies in your junk drawer or a few notebooks lying around, how about passing them forward to bring a smile to the faces of kids and adults?

Our local partners find new homes for your old supplies, where they can help people in your community thrive.

Partnering with Reclaim It!

Cracked Pots is a 501(c)3 environmental art nonprofit dedicated to waste reduction through creative reuse. Volunteers visit the Transfer Station to rescue items already thrown away, prevent them from ending up in the landfill, and then clean and repair them to be returned to the community through the nonprofit’s retail store, ReClaim It.

At ReClaim It, they are always finding new ways to use saved materials to reuse, repair, and reimagine. Each week, volunteers rescue an average of 3,000 pounds of reusable materials that were thrown away and headed to the landfill!

Partnering with SCRAP

SCRAP is a creative reuse 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides education and affordable materials to inspire artistic freedom through material and monetary donations. Our program diverts thousands of pounds of usable items from the waste stream to creative souls every month.

Partnering with Schoolhouse Supplies

Since opening their doors in 1999, the Schoolhouse Supplies mission remains the same: to support public education in the Portland area by providing free school supplies to students in need. They believe that every child deserves school supplies and has the right to a quality education regardless of their family’s income or racial/ethnic identity. Their ultimate goal is to level the playing field so every child has access to the tools that allow them to achieve academic success and feel confident. The program delivery model achieves additional goals through community engagement and by keeping supplies out of the waste stream.
