Shelter in Place Art Kits

Help Students While They Shelter-in-Place!

Update April 22, 2020:  500 more Art Kits being ordered!

Are you able to help low-income students during Shelter-in-Place by purchasing an Art Kit? These kits include school and art supplies to help students continue learning and exercise their creativity during their time at home. Each kit is only $10.

Kits are customized by grade level and contain things like coloring & activity books, construction and drawing paper, chalk, markers, clay, paint, and much more. They are pre-packaged by the supplier, making them safe for distribution. Kits will be distributed during school district meal pickup times.

Many Alameda families find themselves struggling financially. But with your help we can ensure that their children have the supplies they need to be engaged and creative while schools are closed.   In April 320 Arts Kits were delivered and we have just ordered 500 more to meet the increased need now that schools are closed through the end of the school year.

If you are fortunate enough to be financially secure during these times, we hope that you will consider helping a family less fortunate. One hundred percent of donations will go to purchasing Art Kits.  Just click here to make a donation.  You may also mail a check to AEF, PO Box 1363, Alameda, CA 94501 and note “E4S” in the memo line.

Working together, we can keep all our students learning during this challenging time.
