Donation Needs

Your craft material donations make our shop run! We are accepting donations EVERYDAY we are open currently.

Most needed items currently: beading, jewelry supplies, paints, sewing patterns and samplers, AIDA fabric, ephemera (vintage photos, postcards, maps, etc)

When you donate to Art Again you are helping support local teachers and artists, while keeping your unused art and craft materials from the landfill!

How to Donate:

  • Please email contact@artagainthrift.com for pickup/dropoff times that are not listed here, or if you have larger donations

DONATION DATES AND TIMES:

You can now donate any day we are open, up to 2 grocery store bags of materials. If you have larger donations please contact us so we can determine which day is best as we have no storage space to sort items!

  • Bring your donations in a box or bag you do NOT need back
  • Limit donations to 2 grocery store size bags or bankers boxes at a time, if you have more please contact us first! (contact@artagainthrift.com)
  • All donations should be clean
  • All machine donations MUST be in working order
  • Get your frequent donor card to EARN store credit, 10 punches = $10
