Become Part of the ScrapsKC Mission
It takes a community to care for Kansas City. Join our community and make a difference.
Give
ScrapsKC is a 501(c)(3) organization. Which means all donations are tax-deductible. Financial donations provide care for the homeless and school supplies for KC classrooms.
Donate Materials
Do you have materials to donate? See below for a list of items we accept and how to easily donate your materials to our store.
Homeless
Helping others happens in many ways. Your donations provide a place of refuge and care for the Kansas City homeless.
Donate Material?
Donated items are used for our programs and workshops, or are sold for pennies on the dollar and used by artists, teachers, children and other creative-minded individuals for creative and educational purposes. Sale proceeds provide support our homeless outreach and free materials for Kansas City educators.
Material Drop Off
Donate Materials in Boxes
Community members can drop off during store hours
Call 816.608.1533 for business donation pick up
We prefer your donations to arrive in boxes. It's easier to manage 2,000-5,000 pounds of weekly donations if they are in boxes.
Contact us if you have questions about your donation and what we will accept. Pictures of items are also welcome.
Donation List
ScrapsKC loves creative scraps and so do our customers. Home scraps, craft stash items, and other odds and ends you have around the house can be dropped off at ScrapsKC. Please review our NEW list of items not being accepted or, if you have any questions about a donation, please contact the store.
School Supplies
Teach your students to be good environmental stewards. Start a ScrapsKC collection box in your classroom and have your students help fill the box for creative reuse.
Business Scraps
Reduce your waste and recycling costs by donating your manufacturing seconds, overruns and by-product materials as well as office and stationery supplies.
Other Ways to Help
Helping others happens in many ways. Your donations provide a place of refuge and care for the homeless.
Help Us Care for the Homeless
We are always collecting supplies for the homeless that we work with on a daily basis. Due to our small storage space, please contact us before bringing clothing and blanket donations.
View our list of homeless care supplies for ideas on what to bring, or purchase something off our wish list to donate to our Outreach Closet.
Donate gift cards for the homeless
Do you have an assortment of gift cards with just a few cents on each of them? Combine them to purchase materials to sustain our homeless. We also accept $5 and $10 gift cards for Jimmy Johns, Quiznos and Pizza Hut that are given to our homeless volunteers as needed.
