Our Work Changes People and Things.
Our mission is to provide resources, education and an environment for creative upcycling that encourages change in a more responsible community.
Our vision is to transfrom the unwanted into something of value.

Provide volunteer opportunities
Our volunteer program welcomes the homeless community to join us in maintaining and enhancing ScrapsKC to boost their self-esteem and leverage their skills, paving the way for a brighter future.
Offer survival care
Our homeless volunteers receive essential support including food, clothing, and vital survival items. We also provide them with a sense of dignity, acknowledging their contributions and helping them navigate through each day with greater resilience.
Share with them on the streets
ScrapsKC works directly with the homeless on the streets and excess dignity and survival donations are shared with those in dire need.
