Our restored windows are in need of new interior shades and exterior protective storm windows. We also have several windows still need of repair.
Some of our display cases have damages including broken glass in need of replacement. More mannequins and picture frames are always in demand. We could also use improved lighting.
Our biggest need right now is ladders, especially a 20 foot extension ladder and a small step ladder (about 6 feet). Also useful would be a Shop-Vac and a battery powered drill.
Plastic containers of all sizes are very useful. We especially need proper archival boxes and folders.
We also have many high-dollar needs and we would appreciate donations or help achieving them. Those include but are certainly not limited to Shastid House repairs, heating and cooling for East School, repairing East School's plaster, and paving the parking lots.
Can you help with any of those needs? Whether you have the exact item we need or you would like to contribute with a monetary donation, we appreciate your help and support! Please contact us with any questions!
