 Things We Need Now:• Plastic linen zipper bags (the kind that sheets, blankets etc come in)•MORE MEMBERS to take and enjoy the treasures in our center! In order for recycling to work we ALL need to buy used when possible and close the recycling loop! Please spread the word so our organization can grow and continue to serve our community. • Free Advertising - We're doing our best to get the word out, but some free advertising would be awesome! We need more members to sustain the center. • Corporate Sponsors - we will give you credit on our website and link to your website. • A Building or Warehouse - so we don't have to pay rent! You never know...it just might happen! :) • Fundraisers - please support our efforts by bringing in items that we raise funds from. These include old cell phones, MP3 players, laptops, and gently used newer books.  Support Us with Monetary Donations Unfortunately, our expenses cannot be paid with the wonderful treasures we create. Our rent and other modest expenses must be paid with cash. In addition to becoming a member, you can support us with monetary donations to support our work. We are also actively engaged in seeking grants for special projects and to support our operations.
