The Welman Project

Two Big Issues. One Solution.

Waste output generated by businesses, and lack of resources in our schools. We use one idea to tackle these two seemingly unrelated problems in our community. The solution is simple, but often overlooked: reuse.
We serve as a free resource for teachers, distributing surplus materials from local companies for creative reuse in the classroom and beyond, along with making creativity accessible to the whole community through a creative reuse storefront and workshops.
Teachers shop for free in our Educator Warehouse, and everyone can shop in our new Curiosity Shop for great deals on art supplies, craft materials, vintage treasures, and unique gifts made by local reuse artists - with 100% of proceeds going to help us fill a classroom, not a landfill!
