How You Can Help
With your help, we have provided 100 art kits to youth in transition through Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition thus far delivered to families and residential homes. We are currently collecting an additional 100 kits to deliver this year. Materials can be purchased through our Amazon Wish list. Amazon gift cards and cash donations are also appreciated.
For youth in Saint Louis, Senegal, your cash contribution allowed us to carry out 10 art workshops for youth without permanent housing to participate in the art class with our chosen teaching artist. Any additional cash donations will allow additional workshops.
