Lancaster Creative Reuse (LCR) plans to expand their hours of operation once the store returns to normal operation after statewide COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. The store’s square footage has also been expanded to accommodate birthday parties, team building, baby showers, ladies’ night out events and more.

“The current COVID-19 pandemic is highlighting the importance of creatively using resources that might otherwise be discarded,” says Director Susan Zeran. “It is also showing the importance of community. We have provided free craft kits outside of the store during COVID-19 closures, and we post daily videos for parents, teachers and crafters to stay occupied during this time. Many of our customers have united to sew masks for health organizations using supplies purchased from our store. As organizations reshape and reschedule their events in 2020, LCR is the affordable and environmental answer to your small event needs. Stay tuned for party and event info to be announced soon.”
