  • ANY type of wood scraps or small wooden pieces
  • Bubble Wrap
  • Buttons
  • Cigar Boxes (especially wooden ones)
  • Toilet Paper rolls
  • Paper towel rolls
  • Patterned or textured papers
  • Wrapping paper (no holiday at this time please)
  • Ribbon
  • Keys
  • Puzzle or game pieces
If you are interested in donating any of the following materials they would be GREATLY APPRECIATED:
  • Wet Ones
