Spring cleaning? 🌷 Bring selected items to our Reuse Fair!
This event will take place at the 2023 Northwest Indiana Earth Day Celebration on April 22nd. 🌎
Promote “Reuse” and keep items out of the landfill by donating to organizations in need. The Reuse Fair connects participating non-profit organizations and schools that request supplies with community members who have items they no longer want. Donations will be divided amongst benefitting organizations based on wish lists. See accepted items below.
