Description
Materials for the Arts (MFTA) provides NYC arts nonprofits, public schools, and city agencies with access to free materials donated by individuals, manufacturers, fashion brands, film and tv, etc. We strive to keep valuable materials from entering the landfill and put these materials into the hands of arts professionals, educators, and students across the five boroughs for free. We give unwanted items the opportunity to become something new through creative reuse, inspired education, and unlimited imagination.
Volunteering with Materials for the Arts is a great opportunity to help the arts community in NYC. We need your help with organizing, arranging, and stocking our shelves with the incredible donations that come into our warehouse. MFTA’s warehouse is a mix of JOANN’s, Home Depot, Best Buy, Raymour & Flanigan, Party City, and Staples. We have a little (and a lot) of everything! Volunteering also builds morale and is a great way to unwind and get to know fellow NYCers. We provide music and a great friendly laid-back environment to unwind.
