This month, Renew Secondhand Store is giving customers the opportunity to make a difference by rounding up their purchases at checkout. Every dollar raised through the Round-Up Program will be donated to The Science Center to provide summer camp scholarships for children from lower-income families.
To determine scholarship recipients, The Science Center will host an art contest. Children wishing to apply should create an 8" x 10" poster inspired by The Science Center. A completed registration form must also be submitted with each artwork entry.
To qualify for a Renew Camp Scholarship, families must participate in SNAP, Medicaid, or a reduced/free school lunch program. All artwork and registration forms must be submitted by June 30.
Scholarship recipients will be selected from the contest entries. Depending on the amount raised through Renews Round-Up Program, more than two children may be awarded scholarships to attend our July summer camps.
We are incredibly grateful to Renew Secondhand Store and its customers for helping make hands-on science learning accessible to more children in our community. Thank you for your generosity and support!
For any question please call us at (618)529-5431 or visit us in person. The Science Center is located inside The University Mall in Carbondale, IL
