This jewelry extravaganza is seeking donations of all kinds. All jewelry is accepted, including beads and even broken pieces. Jewelry-making supplies are also much appreciated as the committee can make simple repairs on donated jewelry.

You can drop off your jewelry donation at the Food Share office (535 NE 1st St, Newport), all branches of the Oregon Coast Bank, as well as at the Newport Senior Center.
