Donate Packing Materials

We are in need of your paper bags! We package our books using standard size brown paper grocery bags. We can also use plain paper mailing envelopes 9X12 inches or larger.

Other packing materials we need are:

• packing tape
• sharpie markers
• pens
• dark colored ink stamp pads

You can drop donations off during Thomas Merton Center's business hours, (Mon. - Fri.: 9 - 5), OR while we are here packing books, every Sunday from 3 - 8pm.

Only clean paper bags, please.
