There are so many ways that your support helps us thrive!
Gear
We are looking for well-loved, lightly-used gear in working condition. Our gear library has grown considerably over the years thanks to donors like you! Your donations make our instrument instruction classes, band practices, and showcases possible; maybe the bass you see onstage was once yours! We also have a free gear loan program, open to any current or former RCRC program participant, to support our musicians year-round.
Donation Criteria
Functional
We have limited capacity to restore gear in need of fixing, so we are unable to accept donations that are nonfunctional.
Portable
We prefer gear that is portable and as lightweight as possible. We frequently transport our instruments to program sites, and lighter gear is more comfortable for our roadies and musicians.
In Search Of
- bass guitars, especially short scale basses
- soft cases for guitars and basses
- small and portable amps
- cords and cables
- effect pedals (very popular with our campers!)
- microphones
Due to limited storage capacity, we are unable to accept the following at this time: larger amps, cabinet speakers, drum kits or parts, hard cases for guitars or basses, recording equipment, mixers, acoustic guitars.
