Lancaster Creative Reuse connects community excess to those who can use it creatively.
The project inspires creativity, increases access to the arts through affordability, and encourages reuse.
Opened in August 2010, the LCR store provides low-cost supplies as well as an Open Craft table.

WE'VE EXPANDED!

LCR has officially expanded into the adjoining room. This allows us 50% more store space, as well as a new walled off storage and sorting area. The craft area has moved into the new room and now has two tables. Come visit!

The LANCASTER CREATIVE REUSE STORE

Lancaster's excess craft stashes, fabric room cleanouts, and business samples and seconds are sorted here and made available to the community at low cost for creative reuse. Click here for a list of about 100 types of things we almost always have. Donations are accepted any time during our open hours. Payment Methods: Cash/Check

OPEN CRAFT TABLE

The LCR craft table is a place kids (or adults!) can create whatever they like from a variety of materials. A $2 donation is appreciated but we want it to be affordable for everyone, so it is not required. Our new area has two tables that can sit up to 12 or so crafters. Drop in any time during our open hours. Come with a friend. A nice way to get out of the house!

WHAT'S NEW?

Our public Facebook page is where we post photos and updates on new items daily. Anyone can view it, you don't have to be a member of Facebook.
