August News you can (re)use!
In just four months of collecting material donations, we have received over 9,500 pounds of materials! That's a lot of craft supplies sitting around being unsold due to delays that are out of our hands. At this time, we are pausing material donations because we are at capacity. We will resume material donations once we open our retail store.
The Scraplanta team put our heads together and decided to do something wonderful: we're going digital! Tune into our Facebook Lives on August 25th-26th to check out the amazing things in our store. If you're unable to participate in our Facebook Live Shopping Events, we are also offering Virtual Shopping Appointments, through our Square Site. We are also pleased to announce that we will host a fundraiser at the Henderson Mill Rd Chipotle on Tuesday, September 6th. We hope to see you there!
