School and Community Assistance for Recycling and Composting Education (SCARCE) is an environmental education non-profit and resource center. We provides educational programs for anyone from age 2-92 and provide books and supplies to schools and non-profits. We work with schools, businesses, municipalities, park districts, libraries, scout groups, garden clubs, senior centers and more to provide engaging environmental education programs. Our goal is to inspire people to take action to care for our Earth's natural resources.

Resource Conservation
SCARCE operates our Book Rescue fully funded and stocked by community and visitor donations. The goal is to reduce waste sent to landfills and help schools and non-profits get the supplies they need. School and non-profit employees can come to the book rescue and select books and supplies for their programs. Each box of books/supplies costs $10, which helps to keep our resource center open and available. If you come for a visit, please be sure to bring employment identification.

Donate Items to SCARCE
To supply our Book Rescue we receive donations of unwanted resources from community members, schools, and businesses. Items include: books of any kind, writing utensils, notebooks & binders, rulers, staplers, paper clips, crafting supplies, and classroom decorations. If a teacher or non-profit office could use it, we'll gladly take it. We have a dedicated core of volunteers that help keep the Book Rescue stocked and ready for visitors.
