Create – Learn – Grow
An Art Supplies Drive

Creativity Packets will be distributed in November.
Partnering with all 45 chapters of
National Christ Child Society
Honoring the life and legacy of our founder
Mary Virginia Merrick
Let’s empower children through creativity and self-expression!
Every year the chapters of the Christ Child Society are encouraged to do a special project for the children to honor Mary Virginia Merrick in November, her birthday month.
The last two years our chapter collected art supplies: age appropriate packets with crayola crayons and markers, child scissors, glue sticks ,stickers, construction paper, drawing paper and other supplies to help our budding artists create and have fun. It was a big hit with both the children and parents so we are doing it again this year. The back to school sales are on now so you can stock up on those supplies while the prices are good!
