Art Love Charity

10/31/2021

As we close the year, we wanted to give a huge thanks to our volunteers that have helped us donate supplies to nearly 4,500 kids at Fort Lee and 40 schools, hospitals, and nonprofits across the country. We're now completing assembly of 600+ kits to get in the hands of kids before the holidays.

Finally, we decided that it makes sense to wind down the administrative aspects of Art Love as maintaining an official 501(c)(3) status has taken more time than we realized (e.g., tax filings, state requirements, fundraising). We’ll continue to do what we love - collect, upcycle, and donate supplies to the incredible nonprofits we’ve connected with over the past two years – but just in a less official capacity 😊

Thanks for all the support and Happy Halloween everyone!

2 hours of tie-dye in 1 minute!!

Our social media manager, Claire, came to visit us all the way from Alabama and we had so much fun tie-dying every white article of clothing in the house!

Of the 4,225 kits we've donated since starting Art Love, our most recent 100 kits will ALWAYS hold a special place in our heart. By partnering with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, we delivered art supplies to Afghan refugees at Virginia's Fort Pickett. A special thanks to Jinu Maria Evan Patel for helping make this happen!

We love this quote. Our mission is to help put a smile on a child's face one art kit at a time.
