Support Stitch Buffalo
Stitch Buffalo is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
As we work, learn, and celebrate together, we are stitching together a community where everyone is welcome—a trustworthy space where people gather to create, regardless of their differences.
No contribution is too small to make a difference. Every dollar helps to strengthen our community and invigorate the creative process through mentorship, education and economic opportunities.
Amazon Wish List
Our Amazon wish list is full of specialized items we need for the studio, retail, office, and mail-order components of Stitch Buffalo.
Simply add items to your cart and they will be shipped directly to our executive director, Dawne Hoeg. (We only have a mail slot at the studio, and we don’t want any of your generously given items to get lost!)
Second Stitch: Supply Donations
Before donating, please check out our list of needed supplies below
Second Stitch is the name we give to Stitch Buffalo’s sustainability program—because we give a second life to donated textile art supplies no longer needed by other artists, crafters, and businesses. These supplies are integral to creating the products in the Refugee Women’s Workshop, and they are used as the basis for all of our classes and kits. Any items we can’t use directly in Stitch Buffalo projects are are offered to the community at substantial discounts. All proceeds go directly to sustaining Stitch Buffalo programming.
DONATION DAYS/TIMES—SMALL DONATIONS
Small donations (up to 3 bags/boxes) of clean textile art supplies are accepted
Tuesdays and Thursdays (10am–4pm) and Saturdays (10am–1pm).
DONATION APPOINTMENTS—LARGER DONATIONS
Larger donations of clean textile art supplies may be made by appointment.
Please contact our Second Stitch manager to plan a day/time for your delivery.
