FabMo Welcome to FabMo’s page. We are happy you are here to learn a bit about our organization. FabMo is an all volunteer organization.

FabMo promotes and encourages good stewardship of the earth by diverting discontinued designer fabrics, tiles, wallpapers and other similar materials from landfills, making them available to all interested persons and inspiring creative reuse. FabMo is a not-for profit organization located in Sunnyvale, CA. Our mission is to keep valuable materials such as fabric, wallpaper, yarn, leather, notions

, tile and other crafting materials out of the landfill and to make it available to the local creative community. We collect show room samples that would otherwise be discarded at the San Francisco Design Center and accept donations of fabrics and crafting supplies from individuals and estates. All our materials are sorted and made available to the creative community during two monthly events as well as our online store. All proceeds from these event go towards keeping our doors open. More information, links to our events, the store, a blog with sustainability and crafting tips can be found here: www.FabMo.org. Come join us for one of our events or as a volunteer!
