Many people who come into our centre are thrilled at the vast array of cheap craft supplies available. It’s great for people to have a place they can come to that collects discards and offcuts from industry and sells them to the community for creative and educational uses. Some of our regular customers include:
“Wow, what can I say. When I visited your store I felt like a “kid in a candy store” – it was so exciting and I didn’t know where to start. Your staff were very friendly and helpful and pointed me in the right direction. I think we spent nearly 2 hours making our selection. So many wonderful things to choose from – the uses limited only to your imagination. I will be back. Thanks, Anne”
“Resource Rescue makes recycling fun, easy and enjoyable. The professionalism, email updates and store layout are a credit to Peter Van Os and his friendly team. The new factory is bright and well organised, with plenty of materials to load into your car. I’m so glad I found out about Resource Rescue. I joined immediately on my first visit and have recommended the organisation to many Art Teachers across Melbourne.”
“I finally got there today and had a ball. Was there for ages and still could have spent longer but Peter wanted to go home! LOL Excellent variety of resources guys! My son was very happy with the netting to add to his cat run. Fabulous stuff! Thanks for your help, Peter. : )”
“I love going to get new things to use on my craft projects and card making staff there are always friendly and always bringing in new things to pick up.”
“I am so excited about the multitude of diverse variety of high quality resources you have to offer that I regularly look at the website to see what latest items you have in stock so I can provide for my program. I have been giving out your business cards regularly so that others can also provide the same for their programs”
“I thought you might be interested in the wonderful project that we used your resources for. I came to collect supplies for our special Year 8 program on Sustainability and the Environment. For three days, students used entirely recycled products to create an artwork reflecting one of 3 main topics – earthquakes, floods or cyclones.
“Dear Peter and the team at RESOURCE RESCUE,
“My daughter and I spent the morning sifting through all the wonder craft supplies it was amazing the choice was huge and great improvement from another establishment we used. I had to drag my daughter out of the door, we will be back.“
“I rang my dad and invited him to come shopping with me (something he would never willing do) until I mentioned it was Resource Rescue. I heard about you via Victoria University & he heard about you via Waverley Wood Workers Association. Upon entering the store, dad exclaimed ‘It’s like a $2 dollar shop on steriods!’ It’s certainly a treasure trove and we’ll definately be back. :)”
“Dear Resource Rescue art supplies your shop is so awesome I wish I owned it!!! I made lots of things with your stuff like movie characters!!! Your shop is AWESOME!!!”
