Hello, friends & colleagues! I am Christina Crespo-Davis. For the past 7 years, I have been a member of the Executive Board of Resource Depot, a local not-for-profit creative reuse center located in West Palm Beach. The mission of the organization is to promote creativity, environmental awareness, and community-building through reuse. Resource Depot's great work in our community largely benefits teachers and students, which is why the School District is such a committed partner and avid supporter.
Resource Depot is currently gearing up for the new school year and would love to stock its shelves with a new cadre of interesting, fun, functional, and useful items. If you, or anyone you know (including business associates), have such items and would like to make a donation, please contact their Materials Manager, Will Davis, at wdavis@resourcedepot.net or 561-882-0090 x. 103.
You may drop off your items or even schedule a free pickup!
