Donate Art and Craft Supplies
Morph accepts donations of clean, reusable art and craft supplies.
Please read our donation list, and it may change depending on inventory and space available. Before you donate, please check that your items are clean, free of bugs and trash, mold, animal droppings, critters (or eggs), or other unpleasantries. If you can find it in a traditional arts and crafts store, we’ll probably take it. Not sure? Send us an email or a photo and we’ll tell you if we can take it off your hands.
See our Drop off Partners and where you can drop off donations
