Rather than letting your old musical instruments collect dust in the basement, a St. Paul-based non-profit is hoping you'll consider donating them instead.
Instruments in the Cloud collects used instruments, repairs them, then matches them with music teachers who can use them in their classrooms. The group also accepts financial donations; within the past couple of months, The Country Music Association gave a large grant to the organization to help it grow.
Executive Director Caitlin Marlotte appeared on KARE 11 News at 4 to encourage people to donate.
