Sort & Package Writing Instruments
ORGANIZATION: RUTHS REUSABLE RESOURCES
Please visit the new page to apply.
We are looking for a volunteer to sort and package writing utensils. We receive new and used pens, pencils, mechanical pencils, colored pencils, markers, highlighters, etc. in large quantities. Each item must be checked individually to ensure it still works before it goes into the Teacher Resource Center. The items that are still usable are counted and packaged according to our guidelines for placement in the Teacher Resource Center.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to ensure that all students, from pre-k through high school, have the basic supplies and creative tools for literacy, STEAM, and health education through the environmentally-conscious distribution of donated supplies.
Description
3Rs is in its 27th year of helping Maine schools. 3Rs' main program is a resource center where teachers can pick up supplies for their classrooms at no cost to the individual teacher. We distribute $3 million worth of materials to teachers annually. We also pack several thousand backpacks with new school supplies each August and distribute them to needy students throughout Maine. Our Computer Re-Life program takes in donated computers, laptops and related technology from businesses and makes it available to schools and non-profits for a small handling fee. Finally, after reusing and repurposing as many donation as we can, we recycle to the greatest extent possible, throwing items in the trash only as a last resort.
