DONATE MATERIALS

Teachers, students, artists, and creative types know how to take used and forgotten items and put them to good use! Check out our list of materials we accept that are clean, safe, and still usable. During the winter we are only able to accept one box or bag at a time due to limited space. We may look through the items and let you know if there is anything we are not able to accept. If you have more than one box or bag of items please reach out to us with a description of what and how much you have. 

​

Given the size of our space we do have to put accepting certain items on pause. Please see the bottom of the page for those specific items. 

​

Reach us at 847.250.7185 or info@greener-good.org
