ACR Launches Adopt a School Program!

Educators pour their hearts into teaching the youngest members of our community.  At Austin Creative Reuse, we’re here to make their work just a little bit easier. We’re excited to announce our new Adopt a School program to help local schools get the supplies they need to make this the best year yet! Each month, ACR will select our School of the Month based on nominations from the community.  For one full month, shoppers and visitors to ACR’s creative reuse center will be invited to purchase low cost school supplies, art supplies and other creative materials from an ACR wish list created by the school’s teachers and staff.  Plus, on the second Saturday of the month, all monetary donations received at ACR's registers will be donated to the school in the form of ACR gift cards. 

Our neighbor, Harris Elementary, is ACR’s first School of the Month! 

  

Be sure to stop by ACR in September to support Harris students.
