Volunteer Information

SCRAP is NOT currently accepting new volunteer applications due to COVID-19. We will update our community when we are able to once again safely resume our volunteer program. Thank you for your patience.

We Love Our Volunteers!

Last year SCRAP volunteers nationwide contributed almost 19,000 hours of their time and energy to help us fulfill our mission. Most volunteers are scheduled for one 3-hour shift in the store each week, as well help in many other ways.

Volunteers do things like:

Sort and organize the SCRAP store
Assemble To Go Kits and Collage Packs that we sell in the store
Volunteer at SCRAP events
Assist with Workshops
