4worldlovers: The East Bay Depot is a nonprofit organization dedicated to diverting waste and providing a space for artists, educators, & community members to receive low cost supplies while making their lives simpler and more sustainable.

EDUCATIONAL MISSION: To increase the awareness of the green benefits of reusing materials for school children and the general public.

For over 40 years we have collaborated with educators to provide zero to low cost materials for use in their classrooms and model the importance of reuse. We bring educational opportunities to the community through free materials for teachers, free swap events, and in-person classes in the newly established Re:Studio.

"I SO appreciate you all. You make doing projects possible - and super fun. I share the supplies with 3 other 3rd grade teachers - we collaborate all the time, especially on projects. Between the 4 of us, we have 98 students. So 98 students made multiplication monsters, ugly sweater persuasive writing, and Black History Month Valentines - all thanks to the East Bay Depot!

"I appreciate your efforts to make order in the shop. I hope, that in the future it will continue to be as much fun to search and find as it was today."

"Always a fantastic, joyful, inspiring experience — thanks for your endless, continuous awesomeness!"
