Summer of Service is back, hurrah! We will be adding some additional volunteering opportunities throughout the summer to give all our new volunteers more ways to participate. Check out the details of each event to see what we will be processing! 

These are indoor and seated events located at Austin Creative Reuse in Windsor Park. You will be helping out in a room that can be a bit warm in the summer, so we suggest you keep this in mind when dressing for the event.

Austin Creative Reuse is a Austin based non-profit that aims to foster conservation, education, and community building through the creative reuse of old items and the reuse of creative items! We take in ~50,000 lbs. of donations every month and we rely on volunteers to help us process all those donations! Most items we resell at our center at very accessible price points, but we also donate supplies to schools, and attend community events to teach our youngest generations about creative reuse.

We're sorting through our bins of needlework and could use some extra hands! If you're into fiber arts, or just curious about how we get materials from the bins to the floor, this is a great chance to dive in. We'll be organizing items into categories like fabric, completed pieces, kits, used fabric, and more, and even doing some pricing along the way. It's a fun, hands-on project, and we’re always looking for volunteers to help out with the needlework section! This event is best for participants 16 years and up.  Sign up here.
