St. Vincent de Paul, in collaboration with MECCA, offers a unique opportunity to look at salvaged materials in a new way and raise awareness of creative re-use. We’re looking for professional and amateur artists, reuse crafters and youth artists to create art, starting with an existing piece from St. Vincent de Paul’s discard collection.

Strangely, that one worked...especially when she ordered Chinese food from Ernie's Kitchen.

On a side note, the delivery guy drove a Volkswagon bug when he delivered. I have always loved bugs...maybe that's why.
