Art Supplies Drive

As many of you know I am a huge fan of Art Feeds. Wren even dedicated her first birthday to them, collecting over $300. Not too shabby for a one year old! (click here to read a letter from Wren about Art Feeds)

I've recently gotten a lot of questions on how people in NWA can help those who have been affected by the tornadoes in OK. While there are several options out there: donating to the Red Cross, donating to UW of Central OK Tornado Relief Fund, etc. this is the one that I'm personally getting behind  -- Art Feeds and Do Something have partnered together to send art packs to the children of Moore, OK to help start the healing process through creativity -- And I would LOVE your help in supporting them!

Kids are amazingly resilient. This is a very true statement. However, kids also have a totally different way of processing and dealing with grief, fear, and other emotions. That's where creativity comes in. Therapeutic art and creativity has been shown to have a major impact on helping kids overcome obstacles or recover from traumatic experiences. So, this is where you come in my friends.

I'm going to be sending a box (maybe several with your help) of art supplies to Art Feeds on Wednesday, May 29. My art supplies would love to be kept company by your art supplies! Here is the list:

Anything helps! Don't feel like you need to donate every supply on the list, but whatever you donate does need to be an unused supply.

Do you have a little artist? Have them draw a picture or send a word of encouragement for a kiddo in Moore!

Supplies and pictures can be dropped off at:
Chambers Bank locations (in Bentonville, Fayetteville, Johnson, Elkins and Goshen) Monday through Friday between the hours of 8am-5pm.

NWA Pilates Studio in Bentonville - Tuesday and Wednesday from 4:30-7:30pm
