Donate Today

Support F.A.Q.

Our amazing Guardians often inquire about in-kind donations. Here’s what we need.

  • Hygiene supplies: We stock and distribute new, unopened hygiene supplies for any students and community members in need. This includes deodorant, small-size shampoos and soaps, and tampons and pads.

  • Old hardback books: We need your old hardback books for The People’s Paper Co-op social enterprise. Our Re-entry Fellows transform them into beautiful journals, filled with handmade paper recycled from expunged criminal records.  

  • New, unused, and neatly organized art supplies: Markers, paper, bagged clay — our multimedia classrooms can use many different kinds of art supplies. The time you take to organize them is the real donation: it makes it possible for our teachers to use your supplies.

  • Fabrics (2 yards and up): Our sewing classes love donated fabrics. It is difficult to use small pieces, but if you have several yards of fabric, we’re happy to use it. Clean/pressed is ideal — again, the greatest in-kind donation of all is your time in prepping materials for us to use.

  • Things we don’t need (but we’re grateful you’re thinking of us): pianos, old computers or cameras, musical instruments in need of repair, oil paint, fabric remnants, disorganized supplies.

As with all in-kind donations, please e-mail Administrative Manager Brenda Toler at brenda@villagearts.org before making any deliveries.
