Join us for a community donation and giveaway event in our parking lot, presented by Master Recycler.

Help your community by giving things you no longer need and connecting with one another. Help the environment by reusing things and keeping them out of the landfill!

Join us in our parking lot for a community donation and giveaway event presented by Master Recycler, a community engagement volunteer corps focused on sustainable consumption, climate protection, environmental justice, repair, reuse, and recycling.

How it works: 
Drop off donations at the Open Signal parking lot from 9am - 1pm. All items should be clean, gently used, and in working condition. Follow signs to drop off donations at the Open Signal parking lot entrance. Volunteers will accept donations and help you sort them onto tables. 

The giveaway will be from 9am - 2pm. Take home items for yourself and your family. No donation required to receive items. All leftover items will be donated to local charitable organizations.

Open Signal is a Safer Space

Open Signal is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for the community. Open Signal is a Safer Space for people of color, immigrants, gender non-conforming, low/no income groups, houseless, people with disabilities, linguistically diverse and other marginalized communities who have experienced systemic racism, sexism, classism and/or oppression. We encourage the creation and sharing of content that expresses a wide variety of cultural, social, political and spiritual perspectives. Treating all people with respect and kindness is expected - even if you don’t agree with all perspectives.

We require all members of our community to agree to our Safer Space Community Guidelines and to be accountable for the impact of their actions on others who use the space. Physical and verbal abuse will not be tolerated. All threats will be taken seriously, and will result in removal from the facility.

If you have a safety concern to report, please talk to any member of our front desk staff, or complete our online form at bit.ly/opensignalsafetyconcern.
