Hello friends! A very big welcome to the SCRAP-DC blog. This is where Karen and I (SCRAP-DC Co-Directors) will be keeping you updated with all the latest SCRAP news plus sharing things that are just darn cool. For those of you who are stumbling upon this for the first time, here's the basic info you need to know.
SCRAP (School & Community Reuse Action Project) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to inspire creative reuse and environmentally sustainable behavior by providing education programs and affordable materials to the community.
SCRAP has been going strong in Oregon for over ten years (check out their history) and is working toward the vision of SCRAP USA with new branches in Traverse City, Michigan and now Washington, DC. DC is beyond ready for a creative reuse center and we're excited to make it happen. While we search for a permanent space, SCRAP-DC is going mobile. We are working on setting up donation drop-off points, hosting gatherings of crafters and artists to create with donated supplies, coordinating our own art show and much more.
This fall we'll be at a few Art and Craft shows, as well as festivals. Stay tuned for details about where and when you can find us!
Alright DC, lots more to come. Get pumped.
