The Creative Reuse Center serves as the heartbeat of our organization. It is where reusable materials are donated, sorted, organized, processed, and redistributed. Those supplies are then made available for you to shop via the Creative Reuse Center with a “pay what you can” pricing model. We want creative materials to be accessible to all!Â
