List of Donated Materials and Items We Accept
Hello and thank you for considering donating to Scraps KC, Kansas City’s first creative reuse center.
Think of us as a thrift store for artists, teachers, families and craftspeople alike. With that in mind, please take note/respect/read through our NEW donation guidelines. We have a small staff and thanks to Kansas City’s HUGE support, we are changing the way we accept items. These new guidelines will allow us to more effectively care for Kansas City’s environment, education and homeless.
We accept donations of clean and usable art and craft supplies, school and office supplies, fabric and notions, and miscellaneous creative materials . We appreciate if you organize your materials in advance. Here are some tips.
Donations are accepted during retail hours. Please review our list below of materials that we accept or are not accepting at this time. If you have questions about your donated items or your items are not on the list, please contact the store.
