LifeROOTS (www.liferootsnm.org), the not-for-profit organization serving the needs of children and adults with physical, developmental and/or behavioral disabilities, is seeking donations of all types of art supplies to help in their unique community programming. The organization, which offers a wide variety of on-site programs for children and adults as well as a day habilitation program in both Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, currently touches the lives of more than 2,000 people with disabilities each year – with programs and services designed to help people with disabilities reach their true potential.Specific art supplies needed included paper stock, stickers (any and all kinds), water colors, acrylics, canvas or canvas boards, paint brushes, jewelry wire, plastic beads and mixing trays.
“Our innovative art programming continues to be an important way to help the people we serve gain both skills and self-esteem through art,” says Kathleen Cates, Interim CEO at LifeROOTS. “Any donations, whether simply some extra art supplies people may have around the house, or a corporate donation of supplies, would be greatly welcomed, greatly used and greatly appreciated by the children and adults in our program who will benefit from these added resources.”
Donations can be dropped off at LifeROOTS at 1111 Menaul Boulevard NE in Albuquerque, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., or sent by mail to the attention of Jon Chavez at LifeROOTS. In addition, people can also call Jon Chavez at 505-255-5501 if they would like to schedule a drop off of items, or for more information about program needs and ways to help.
