Recycling, hands-on learning, and creativity are made possible by "stuff" and funding.
Over 200 businesses in the Detroit Metro area and throughout the United States donate materials. We would like to thank them for their time and effort in saving material instead of sending it to a landfill. Thousands of individuals save materials from home and deliver to Arts & Scraps.
Thousands of people also contribute financially to Arts & Scraps.
Please accept the thanks of 275,000 children.
100% of the Arts & Scraps board members support Arts & Scraps with financial gifts.
