Ruth's Reusable Resources

Our mission is to ensure that all students, from pre-k through high school, have the basic supplies and creative tools for literacy, STEAM, and health education through the environmentally-conscious distribution of donated supplies

Over the past 31 years 3Rs has given away more than $115 million dollars worth of unwanted furniture, paper, books, office supplies and computers to Maine schools and non-profits. 

Each day, throughout the school year, there are children in Maine attending school without pencils, paper and the basic school supplies needed. At the same time there are businesses in Maine disposing of these same basic supplies because they are no longer needed. 3Rs is helping to transfer those unwanted supplies to our children and classrooms. 3R's is a resource center where businesses can donate their unwanted surplus supplies, and school districts can join via annual membership fee to have their teachers come in and shop for free.
