We're getting ready for an exciting summer of children's programming and are looking for a few recycled materials to help with crafts, games, and creative activities!

We are currently accepting donations of:
🥫 Clean tin cans
🧴Circular Plastic lids (think yogurt lids, dip containers, sour cream containers)
📦 Clean cardboard (boxes, sheets, and scraps)

These simple items go a long way in helping us create fun, hands-on experiences for kids throughout the summer while keeping costs down and promoting recycling.
