Can I volunteer at Turnip Green?

How does pricing in the retail space work?

Materials in the Creative Reuse Center are “pay what you can.” Accessibility is important to us, and we also need operational support. Please consider paying what you can reasonably afford for items in our Creative Reuse Center. In our Green Gallery and Marketplace, items are clearly marked with a price.

We are grateful for every donation, as they help us keep our lights on, our doors open, and materials accessible to people who need them.
