Our Work Changes People and Things.
Our work transforms our environment, enhances learning and renews the homeless. Learn how we care for our Kansas City community.
ScrapsKC had already diverted over 12 tons of materials from the landfill by the time it launched in September 2016.
Reuse and Repurpose
We know that there is more than one way to use an object. Our store is filled with unique and colorful materials just waiting to be creatively reused.
Education
We believe that education reaches far beyond the classroom and new things can be learned every day through experiences. We teach creativity by providing an unusual array of materials for children to interact with and share unique ways to creatively reuse scraps. Learning how to serve the homeless and bringing our materials into your home, churches, and classrooms are other ways for families to learn together.
Awareness
Learn more about creative reuse and homelessness by visiting our store. We look forward to helping you gain awareness for our environment and community needs.
School Supply Drive
Each year we capture gently used school supplies from schools that would otherwise throw them away. We clean supplies all summer and gift them to teachers who need them for their classrooms! Get your school involved in collecting and donating supplies with us by filling out the google form and we will send you more information.

Provide volunteer opportunities
Homeless volunteer manpower to maintain and improve ScrapsKC and clean and repurpose donated school supplies for redistribution to classrooms in disadvantaged communities.
Offer survival care
In exchange for their hard work, our homeless volunteers receive a homemade meal, in addition to dignity and survival items to help them get through another day.
Share with them on the streets
ScrapsKC also works directly with the homeless on the streets and excess dignity and survival donations will be shared with those in dire need.
