Urban Scrapbooker Good Deed Doers Donation Program
Spring is the time for Spring Cleaning and that includes our craft space too. As you are going through your supplies and looking at stuff that you are not going to use any longer, box it up, bring it down to the store and make room for new goodies. We take your paper crafting supplies and give them a new life with our Donation Program. Local teachers, schools and community programs can come in and get a box of craft supplies for their classrooms and programs. We accept any paper crafting supplies, especially stickers (half-used sheets are fine!), papers, punches, trimmers, adhesives, ribbon, etc. It all goes to good use.
Thanks to everyone who has donated supplies. I want to tell you briefly where the last round of donations went. One of our regular customers (and friends - I've gotten to know her well by now) was in the other day and got to talking with me about various battered women's homes that she works with in Snohomish and King County. She puts on a craft day for the children in these homes. The craft day works as art therapy and brings joy and fun into their lives, even if only for a short time. The children range from 4-16 and this upcoming group will be having up to 150 kids! Needless to say, I gave her every box of donated supplies that I had and I wish you could have seen the joy on her face. She was so excited to bring these boxes to the kids and they will be so excited to get to play with all their new art supplies. Thanks again everyone! It's amazing and you made this possible!
So, needless to say, our donation shelves are empty, so it's time to start cleaning out your stashes so we can put your extras to good use. And let your teachers and community program leaders know about this program so they can get a box for their classrooms and programs too. Spread the word!
Thanks and enjoy your weekend,
