The story of Stuff began in May 2008 when Sarah, Liz, and Diana met to talk about local sustainability efforts in Richmond. The group pulled together a diverse team of educaters, artists, business owners, and non profit employees to dream green and the idea for a creative reuse space based in central Virginia was born. Inspired and based on a similar model, The Scrap Exchange in Durham, NC the Stuff founders hosted a series of informal meetings bringing together community members with an interest in the environment, children, arts, and reuse. As the idea turned into a reality, the Stuff founders and committed volunteers worked vigorously over the summer of ‘08 to create a business plan and vision cast with local artists and educators for innovative and creative programming.
