What we do:
Hope for Creativity is a youth powered 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides personalized art supply packs to homeless children between the ages of 2-18 who are receiving support services from a 501c3 social service agency in Massachusetts. We also educate others about the struggles of childhood homelessness, and empower them to be change makers, no matter what age.

Why Art packs?
We believe that it is vital for children to express themselves through art and want to give every one we can that opportunity. By providing a homeless child with an art pack and a way to be creative, we hope that they will not only have something that is a necessary part of childhood, they will also know that there are other kids out there that care about what they’re going through.
How we do it
All of the supplies are provided by grants, community donations, art supply drives, purchased with money from fundraising activites, or through the sales of safety pin bracelets made by bead brigade volunteers and members of our community. Bead brigade bracelets can be found online at Etsy.com.
