SCRAP IN A BOX
SCRAP has become a pivotal resource that reaches into SF neighborhoods where the need for self expression takes on great importance.
Our sustainable arts education program, SCRAP In A Box, brings weekly creative reuse art classes into our communities’ publicly subsidized school programs in collaboration with our seven established non profit partners.
Growing Impact
In 2021, we served over 300 children, and distributed over 1,000 art kits.

Sustainability
Our art supplies are repurposed from the SCRAP depot where we divert 220 tons of materials from the wastestream each year
