 Need a reason to stay out of the 100+ temps?  Already miss combing through treasures at ACR?Here’s 5 ways to beat the “Hotter than Hades” summertime blues while Austin Creative Reuse is closed:

1. Stay inside and spend some time paring down your craft and office supplies.  ACR would be thrilled for the donations, your storage areas will be under control, and you won’t have to break a sweat.  It’s a win/win/win actually.
2. If you do venture out, let it be for a good cause - start a neighborhood school supplies drive to help ACR  get ready for back to school.

Suggested items are: Construction paper, art paper, glue sticks and bottles, boxes of crayons, markers, pens, pencils, rulers, markers, hi-lighters, pens, pencils, erasers, scissors, packaged notebook paper, composition and spiral notebooks.You can contact info@austincreativereuse.org to coordinate a drop-off time at the center from 7/20 to 8/2, or drop off when we reopen Wed.
