The Magpie Creative Reuse Collective mission is simple, Keep things useful longer. At the heart of our organization, we are utilizing collective effort to creatively think about waste reduction and reuse.

We have been working since May of 2024 to open a full-size store, and on Dec. 6th, 2025, we will open the doors in a new 5,000sf warehouse! This space will be a place to donate and buy used materials, a place to be inspired for reuse, a collaborative and creative space for all.

Our "Nest Egg" goal is $30,000. In the past year and a half, we have received individual donations totaling $26,000 - from people who care about the work that we do at Magpie. Now, thanks to the generosity of Nancy Walrafen, we have the opportunity to meet our goal before we open our doors. Every donation made before Giving Tueseday (Dec 2) will be matched, up to $3,000.

By contributing to the Magpie Start-Up Campaign you will:

Help us cover moving costs and rent as we establish ourselves at 3331 Roanoke Rd.
Buy paint to make our new shop and workshop inviting and inspiring.
Buy shelves for a bigger store.
Hire more staff for longer open hours.
Pay staff fair wages as we increase our store sales.
Keep Magpie prices and programs accessible.

At Magpie, we see the scale of the waste problem we face and know it requires many hands. We are ready to join in, and hope you are too. A group of Magpies is called a mischief. Join our mischief and together we can transform used items into something useful once again.
