SCRAP's Next Chapter: A New Home

For the last 25 years, SCRAP has been located within an SFUSD facility at 801 Toland St. in the Bayview District.  With the passage of Proposition B in November 2024, this building is slated to be demolished and rebuilt as a central kitchen for SFUSD, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin in late 2026. 

SCRAP now faces a pivotal transition: we must find a new permanent home. With your support, we’re confident we can overcome these challenges and secure SCRAP’s future in San Francisco. 

We are taking this time to identify a forever home for SCRAP where we can thrive for the next 50 years. 

This new home will give us the capacity to secure our future, expand our programs and outreach, and ensure that San Francisco teachers and artists continue to have cost-effective access to the materials and methods they need.

Over the last six months, we have laid the groundwork–defining our real estate and financial parameters and developing key relationships. 

• Area: 10,000 - 15,000 sq. ft. 

• Location: San Francisco– Bayview/Hunters Points, Mission, or SOMA neighborhoods

• Parking: Dedicated lot, street parking or proximity to public garage

• Supportive landlord willing to work creatively within our parameters

• Desirable Features:

  • High Ceilings

  • Loading dock/Alley for donation drop-off, roll-up doors

  • Teaching spaces, Workshop zones

  • Dedicated space for pop-ups and events

  • Storage

  • Restrooms for staff and public

• Significant Financial Contributions: If you are interested in making a sizable financial contribution, we are actively seeking major donors and partners. If you want to learn more about this project, please let us know. 

• Relevant Expertise: Throughout this process, we appreciate the help of community members with experience in architecture/design/construction/real estate.
