Supplies needed

As we move forward and begin to work and play at Huss School, many of the needs will be for tangible materials. The school is currently winterized so there's no running water and we don't ever plan to turn on the expensive, obsolete heating system, which creates unique needs for hospitality to visitors. As we think about equipping a comfortable room for work groups, we've come up with a list of items we could use to make the space hospitable:

• Electric space heaters (preferably newer models certified by Underwriters Laboratory to prevent the risk of fire)
• Dish pans
• Dish cloths & towels
• Dish soap
• Silverware
• Ceramic mugs
• Microwave-safe re-usable plates & bowls
• Large drinking water containers
• Re-usable cups and water bottles
• Hot pot
• Crock pot
• Electric coffee maker or percolator
• Small refrigerator
• Throw blankets
• Instant hot chocolate
• Gently used winter accessories--scarves, hats and gloves--for borrowing

There are also supplies we could use for general cleaning, maintenance and beautifying work around the facility:

• Biodegradable cleaning supplies, including baking soda, vinegar, all-purpose cleaners, dish soap and tea tree oil
• Spray bottles
• Outdoor work gloves
• Rubber gloves for cleaning
• Commercial mop & mop bucket
• Toothbrushes & scrub brushes
• Cleaning rags and towels
• Leaf rakes
• Tarps
• Pitchfork
• Shovel
• Wheelbarrow
• Gardening equipment (diggers, hoes, clippers, watering cans, etc.)
• Push mower
• Trimmer
• Large drinking water containers
• Fruit trees and native perennials

And, for more playful activities:

• Large red rubber playground balls
• Wiffle ball set
• Sidewalk chalk
• Frisbees
• Badminton set/racquets
• Soccer ball
• Air pump
• Paint (craft, non-toxic, preferably tempera)

If you're able to help out with any of these supplies, either through donating the items themselves, gift cards or cash donations, please contact us! If you have any other ideas for ways to make the space a little more comfortable, feel free to add them below.
