donate your gently used goods
Your trash is our treasure! MAKE relies on donations of gently used items to help supply our projects and activities. We take donations of everything from recycled containers to new bottles of paint. Check out the list below for idea on what you can give to the studio - time to clean out those craft closets! Items can be dropped in the box by the church office during regular business hours or by appointment. Email Director, Angie Cooke for details, angie@makestudiorva.com. All donations of goods can be dropped in the bin by the St. Giles front office marked “Make Studio.” Email Angie Cooke for more information at angie@makestudiorva.com.
