Huge shoutout to Yuki, our social media superhero! She’s been our online voice for a year now. An early retiree and volunteer maniac, she’s all about zero-waste and borrowing instead of buying. When she’s not volunteering, you’ll find her swing dancing, crocheting, or gaming.

This Valentine’s Day, build it instead of buying it. Make something meaningful for your special someone—like a picture frame, a jewelry box, a wire-wrapped pendant, or a beaded bracelet. Borrow tools, make it meaningful, and give a gift made with love. ❤️
