SCRAP is a 501c3 San Francisco legacy non-profit organization working at the intersection of arts, education and the environment
Through the work of our 20 dedicated employees and over 150 enthusiastic volunteers, SCRAP's Depot and Art Education programs serve 37,000people in the Bayview neighborhood of San Francisco each year– all while diverting over 250 tons of materials from the waste stream through over5000 material donations made by community members and local businesses.
Founded in 1976 by arts community leader Anne Marie Theilen and celebrated artist Ruth Asawa. SCRAP began as a solution to a practical challenge and has grown into a beloved San Francisco legacy nonprofit—and a lasting part of both founders’ artistic and civic legacies.
