Turn Up Thursday: Volunteer Month

Sort & Pack Donated Craft Supplies (Thursdays) - Austin Creative Reuse

Come join us for a high energy night volunteering and connecting with other members of your community! You will help us sort and package craft or office supply donations to be sold at our creative reuse center.

This is an indoor, seated/standing event located at Austin Creative Reuse in Windsor Park. You will be helping out in a room that can be a bit chilly in the winter and a bit warm in the summer, so we suggest you keep this in mind when dressing for the event.

Austin Creative Reuse is an Austin based non-profit that aims to foster conservation, education, and community building through the creative reuse of old items and the reuse of creative items! We take in ~50,000 lbs. of donations every month and we rely on volunteers to help us process all those donations! Most items we resell at our center at very accessible price points, but we also teach people new creative skills in our classroom, donate supplies to schools, and attend community events to teach our youngest generations about creative reuse.

Sign up here to grab a volunteer slot: SIGN UP HERE

For questions, please contact Katie McCormick.
