Austin Creative Reuse Celebrates 3 Years!

 September 24th marks the third anniversary at Austin's first and only Creative Reuse Center. What an amazing three years it's been! On our first Saturday, we just hoped someone (anyone!) would find their way to our "not so easy to find" center. To our delight, 33 of our supporters showed up to shop and celebrate with us. In those first months, we were open to the public six hours a week and averaged a few hundred shoppers per month. Today, we welcome our community 40 hours a week to shop, plus an additional 20 hours to volunteer.If you have been in the center on a Wednesday or Saturday (or any day it seems), you know we have steadily outgrown our current location. We will soon bring our community a new, bigger, better center complete with expanded shopping and a dedicated workshop/community space. We will offer more programs like Art of Reuse, Craft Nights, Kids Art Workshops and Educator Professional Development.Look for more details on our move very soon! We want to send a sincere THANK YOU to our entire community. We can not do this without you!
