Donations

Do you have unused art supplies but not want the hassle of selling yourself? 

We're thrilled to accept your donations of unwanted art and craft supplies.

At Peo Vee, we believe the best way to reduce waste is to use what already exists. As a community-driven platform for upcyclers, we provide resources, education, and inspiration to help people turn discarded materials into new creations. Our members share projects, attend workshops, and connect over a shared mission to make reuse mainstream.

Remnants extends this vision by giving secondhand art and craft supplies a new life. By making pre-owned materials accessible and affordable, we support both sustainability and creativity, diverting usable goods from landfills and into the hands of makers.

Your contributions help fuel our mission to make selling, and buying creative reuse accessible to all. We are a small, mission-oriented, women-owned business—your creative reuse donations will be sold right here on our marketplace to fund our work
