In the military, we cannot complete our mission without a solid supply line. Having the right tool for the right job is integral to success. When arts programs in our schools find themselves faced with a lack of funding their mission becomes compromised as they struggle to provide the basic tools needed for their classrooms.
Artists in Arms initiated Operation: GameChanger to serve the artists of tomorrow by providing the supplies they need today.
Phase I of Operation: GameChanger has kicked off with the distribution of our Supply Crates.
We are filling and delivering crates filled with necessary supplies to school arts programs in need. This allows teachers to focus on sharing the love of creating with students without worrying about how they will fund the next lesson.
Our Veteran volunteers have the opportunity to build and pack the crates, participate in donation drives, shop and deliver supplies, and even host in-class workshops and chats with students. Sharing our love of the arts and connecting with our communities is vital to our well-being.
Each reusable crate contains universal basic supplies requested by teachers.
Teachers will work directly with Artists in Arms to ensure that every dollar donated directly supports the individual lesson plans and needs of their classrooms.
What's in the Crate?
Each crate is filled with the following basic universal elementary* art supplies chosen by teachers.
Due to price fluctuations, we may add additional supplies from our SpecOps shopping list which includes specialty items often requested by teachers.
Every crate contains supplies valued at $500.
*As our program grows we will add intermediate and advance supply crate options for older classroom needs.
