We reach 1000+ K–12 students each year in San Francisco public schools. We also offer workshops at SCRAP, in the Community and for Corporate teams.

For one weekend this September, our workshop will be transformed into a Yarn pop-up! Dive into a world of colorful skeins and textured fibers at bargain prices. Whether you’re knitting your very first scarf or stocking up for your next big yarn project, this pop-up is the perfect chance to grow your stash sustainably.
Volunteers power our creative reuse mission, and support depot operations every day!
We regularly host themed, one-off Volunteer Days. This is the easiest way to start volunteering!
If you intend to volunteer more than once a month, we ask that you attend an Volunteer Program Orientation.
Upcoming Sessions:
Volunteer Days: Sun, Sept 7 & 28
Volunteer Orientation: Sept 21
Transform collectibles and keepsakes into funding for SCRAP's Community Programs and Depot Operations
We accept high-value donations like fine collectibles, vintage art supplies, rare instruments, jewelry, paintings and more. These aren’t placed in the Depot; they’re routed through dedicated resale channels, such as auction houses and trusted online sales channels
Have something special to give? Please send images and a description of your items to terry@scrap-sf.org
As SCRAP approaches its 50th anniversary, we are more inspired than ever to build on this momentum and take SCRAP into its 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. We are using this time to identify a forever home for SCRAP where we can thrive for the next 50 years.
In conjunction with the Ruth Asawa: Retrospective on view through September at SFMOMA.
SCRAP educators and teaching artists will help participants transform ordinary materials into extraordinary make-and-take art projects-inspired by Ruth Asawa’s dedication to arts education and her exploration of common materials.
Sundays in June, July, and August
11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

State of play: The non-profit has been renting its Bayview warehouse from SFUSD for the past 25 years, but the building is slated for demolition in 2026 to make way for a central kitchen for the school district.
