AoR’s Store is how AoR raises funds to pay for our free crafting areas. Without AoR’s craft store, there would be no community center. AoR’s craft store raises just enough funds to pay the rent, keep the Iights on, pay the costs of running AoR and hiring the students that need jobs. Our duty is to keep it clean!

Help Check Markers and Bag up Crayons
AoR receives lots of free scrap paper that is put into bins in the free crafting room. Without a volunteer to help with keeping it tidy, scrap paper can get very messy very quickly.

Help Check Markers and Bag up Crayons
Do you love to draw and color? We need a volunteer to help test markers and pens for teachers. AoR brags that we only give working pens and markers to classrooms, but that wouldn’t happen without the volunteers that test them all. Crayons and colored pencils need to be bagged in sets, too.
