As we are a new organization, we are limited to what items we can accept. Please review our lists of accepted items, as well as the items that are less useful to us (and better shared with others). Thanks for taking the time to look and ensure that your donation is of use and support to Scrap Collective. We look forward to working with you, and sending you your tax deductible donation receipt along with a handmade card!
