Help The WasteShed Grow!
The WasteShed is Chicago's only Creative Reuse Center, a resource for gently-used art and educational materials and a neighborhood-based center for environmental education and sustainable fun. We are one of very few affordable sources of art and educational supplies in Chicago, and many dozens of art organizations, schools, and cultural programs have come to rely on us for the materials we provide.
We are moving from our tiny corner store location into a larger space 1 block away, where we will finally have the space for all the workshop and educational programming we want to do! We are incredibly excited about this, but moving is expensive and we're on a super tight budget.
We are hoping to cover our first month's rent while we get set up; we raised $761 though a benefit night at a local cafe, but that leaves us with $1,589 to go while our staff is running themselves ragged getting the move organized. We'd really appreciate your assistance as we blossom into a big beautiful environmental/art/education nonprofit!
