| Material Donations | |||
Due to limited space we are unable to take any donations until August 1, 2008.
If your organization or company generates scrap, discards, or over runs which are destined for the trash or landfill, then ArtStart has an idea for you! By donating your discards or scrap to ArtStarts ArtScraps, a creative materials reuse store, your material donation reaches literally hundreds of individuals, families, and organizations, including Head Start programs, child care associations, daycare providers, social service organizations, schools, neighnorhoods and many arts organizations, who shop the store. Besides supporting the creative materials and programming needs of many organizations through ArtStart, your company's material donation is tax-deductible. If you are interested in donating to the organization, please contact Cindy Smith at 651-698-2787. Pick-up of the donations can be scheduled on a one-time basis, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly. | |||
