Covid-19 Statement

The current situation is frustrating for all of us. As a Community Center these are far from ideal times. Our mission is “To heal and grow community through recycled art…” so we want to bring people together to make meaningful memories and lasting friendships, but right now we want to keep everyone safe. So please be patient with us.

Our “Fundraising Thrifty Craft Store” is re-opened to the public. We are permitting mature children over 6, under close supervision by their parents, into our shop. The Crafting Area is not open.
When you arrive, enter by the front door. We will allow up to 25 shoppers in our facility at a time.
It is mandatory that you wear a mask upon entering. Our staff will check your temperature with a non-contact thermometer, you will be asked if a series of Covid related questions, and you will be asked to wash your hands before shopping or participating in activities.
The free teacher area is open for teachers and non-profits.

While we were closed we renovated rooms and added on expansions, such as a new Book Shoppe, called Magic Beans & Books (eventually adding in a coffee station).
