Sonoma Sustainability

We aim to provide a variety of community events, such as clothing swaps, repair fairs and more. The Sonoma Community Center Trashion/Sustainability Department offers collaborative workshops and classes across our many creative departments. In addition, we share resources and partnerships of outside organizations that encourage sustainability and zero-waste practices. Throughout the year, we provide an update of needed items and materials for Trashion and the Community Center and where to donate them. Join us in the fun of creating a sustainable future together!
