Volunteer

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

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

SCRAP's next chapter– our forever home!

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.
