Support the Guild with items you're no longer using!! We accept donations during the last week of every month (or, the third week in November and December). Our donations program nurtures access by raising funds for our programming and space. It connects unique, specialty supplies and equipment to new owners, diverting usable items from the landfill. It provides materials for the Guild's equipment library and off-site community programs. We also share and distribute donated equipment and supplies to community partners, schools, and cultural groups, spreading your generosity.
