Recycling, thinking and creativity are made possible by "stuff" and funding. 

Over 170 businesses in the Detroit Metro area and throughout the United States donate materials.  We would like to thank them for their time and effort in saving material instead of sending it to a landfill.

Financial gifts from people, organizations and foundations are recognized below. Please accept the thanks of 275,000 children.

100% of the Arts & Scraps board members support Arts & Scraps with financial gifts.

This does not include the hundreds of kind people that have placed donations in the “tub” at the store and have preferred to remain anonymous. If you name is missing, please contact Peg and we will immediately add your name.  No donations should be unrecognized.
