I’ve got art supplies I can also donate, BRG. And if you can give me more of an idea of what they heed, I have a lot of people I can ask, including a friend who has a store in Manhattan.
also- the Henry St. Settlement has a workshop program to show people how to make things for their homes themselves- do a lot with the chinese community- so if anyone has things that might be useful, go to their website and look up the home care program. (they were almost shut down for lack of funds so I’m sure they could use some donations.)
MM, do you know someone that could create new covers to replace my old sofa cushion covers, and the main cover?
I also need the person to advise me on what kind of fabric to use and where to get it. The old fabric is a heavy cotton – sort of off-white. I think I want white cotton canvas or maybe an off-white – not khaki. The covers don’t need any fancy trim or piping. And I have the old grungy covers here – could they be used for templates?
Thanks for the suggestions. Snark, I love Materials for the Arts, and have donated to them in the past. The only problem is that they don’t take fabric pieces smaller than 3 yards, which constitutes most of my offerings.
BRG, my giving is non-sectarian, with the execption of Hitler Youth and KKKKids. (hopefully, there is no such group) Palestinian kids certainly have many, many needs, peace being the main one. Hope to hear from you.
I’ll follow up on the other suggestions, too. Thanks.
I bring my stuff to the Salvation Army on Atlantic near bergen or baltic bazaar on Atlantic near Henry.
If you have a lot of (good) stuff, the SA will arrange a pick up.

Ah, that’s too bad. I love that place. Going in there was like a visit to Candyland. We found a ton of stuff to use in our production.

Montrose Morris,
You might look into Materials for the Arts:
– http://www.mfta.org/
I used them to find materials for set design when I was doing work with a non-profit theater company.
I too have seen Biff and in every way he compares in the looks and physique department to Sludge, my “Wishbone Leftover”

Montrose,
If you don’t mind it going to an art program for Palestinian refuge kids, I’ll email you some info.
Spam le champignon?
BTW- where is La boef?
