Mission
RECYCLED MATERIALS: STAFF TRAVELS TO 200 BUSINESSES IN METRO DETROIT TO PICK UP 28 TONS OF MATERIALS EACH YEAR. COMPANIES DONATE THE MATERIALS, THERE IS NO VALUE ATTACHED BY THEM OR BY ARTS & SCRAPS. HOWEVER, THE MATERIALS ARE USED AS A PRINCIPAL PART OF EVERY PROGRAM IN THE SCRAP PACKS: VOLUNTEERS HELP PREPARE AND PACK KITS MADE FROM THE RECYCLED MATERIALS FOR HANDS ON LEARNING, CREATIVITY, AND FUN. STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATH) IS A FOCUS. THE KITS ARE USED IN STUDENT WORKSHOPS, SOLD/DISTRIBUTED TO CLASSROOMS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND FAMILIES. KITS ARE SOLD IN THE STORE, THROUGH OUR WEBSITE AND CAN BE CUSTOM DESIGNED FOR ORGANIZATIONS, CORPORATIONS, AND NONPROFITS. THIS PROGRAM SERVES 28,000 CHILDREN ANNUALLY.
