In-kind Gifts, Tools & Supplies
We appreciate offers of tools and art supplies. However, due to our limited storage capacity, we are not accepting art material/supply donations unless they are brand-new and in their original packaging. We will also consider donations of lumber and woodshop machines. If you're interested in donating something within these parameters, please contact our Community Education Coordinator. Thank you for thinking of us!
Scholarship Funds
