We’re celebrating an exciting milestone—3 million pounds diverted from the landfill—and inviting our community into the heart of our process. This event is a chance for you to give common craft materials, fabric, and yarn a second life without an appointment, while also getting a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to make creative reuse possible.

For this special 2-day event only, no appointment is needed. Just stop by between 11AM–4PM on Saturday, June 7 or Sunday, June 8 with your donation of pre-approved materials in tow. We’re inviting donors to get into the action alongside our friendly staff and volunteers by sorting their own donations into pre-labeled bins and learning more about our processes! Be sure to check the Donation Celebration Accepted Items list before you come.

As a thank-you for rolling up your sleeves and sorting your donation, you’ll receive a 15% off coupon for your next in-center purchase!

We will also host special Community Volunteering sessions to help process the large volume of donations that we will receive during this event. You can join a Community Volunteering session by signing up through our GivePulse page! We’re hosting four events this weekend—three will focus on organizing specific materials like yarn, fabric, or craft supplies, so you can choose the one that excites you most. The final session will be a surprise based on what’s donated over the weekend. All events are open to the public, and anyone under 15 must be accompanied by an adult. No application or experience is required, but advanced registration is a must.
