Give Us Your Stuff
Let our young artists turn your castaways into works of art!
“My daugher got very excited abut how to use some of the new painting tools. It totally opened up the possibilities she sees for making art.”
—MOCHA parent
MOCHA is committed to using recycled art materials, and we have a reputation for finding innovative uses for unusual objects.
PLEASE call before you bring ANYTHING to MOCHA. Our imagination is unlimited but, alas, our storage space is not.
We're often on the lookout for:

- Usable art supplies of any kind, such as paint, ink, pencils, chalk, clay and so on
- Small gift boxes, shoe boxes, or film canisters with lids
- Buttons, lace & other sewing notions
- Bottlecaps, corks, babyfood jars with lids
- Beads, bangles, baubles and other small shiny objects
- Wire, yarn, ribbon, thin chain, string
- Calendars and magazines with good (G-rated) pictures we can cut out
- Decorations, including tinsel, garland, crepe-paper streamers, doilies
- Fancy things, like feathers, pipe cleaners, dried flowers, shells and pompoms
- Samples of wallpaper, little squares of countertop tile or mosaic materials
- Old CDs, CD jewelcases, metal foils
We SOMETIMES accept:
- egg cartons and yogurt style containers (16 or 32 oz size)
- Office supplies, including envelopes, file folders, presentation folders or rubber bands
We NEVER accept:
- Styrofoam packing peanuts or other packing materials
- Large pieces of Styrofoam
