Introductions
This all started with Mr. Worley from Worley's Home Design Center (http://www.worleyandsons.com/). I went into his store asking about extra fabric books and other samples to bring to my preschool class. Everyone was lovely, and they sent me home with a bag of goodies. Over the weeks, they donated various supplies that would otherwise have been hauled off as garbage:
Fabric, Wood, Carpet, Wallpaper, Paper, Foam, Plastic, Metal, etc.
It was fantastic! I started taking their extras to my daughter's elementary school in Hayward and posting some things on Craigslist. It became clear that they would have ongoing materials, and I knew others
(schools, after school programs, clubs, nonprofit organizations, and people who like to make things)
would appreciate their generosity, too. In addition, I knew there were other local businesses who would like to share with the community, eliminate extra materials lying around, and donate their supplies to people who would use them, instead of sending them to a landfill.
If you are looking for free materials, let me know, and I'll contact you when I get them.
If you or your business is looking for a place to donate useful leftovers, contact me. I would be happy to promote such businesses and seek ways for them to write off donations. I am also looking for locations to have meetup events, which could drive traffic to your store.
