Hearts With a Mission (HWAM) is a community run non-profit that serves homeless and at-risk youth in the Rogue Valley. They work hard to provide shelter, education, mentoring, and transition planning to the kids less fortunate in and around Medford. Recently we have begun coordinating an art class for the kids in the shelter. As a business that shares a common vision as HWAM, we are hoping you will be able to help us get started in these efforts. Are there excess supplies left behind by students that we might utilize for HWAM, or obsolete media that might otherwise go to waste?

From the Editor:
I joined this cause because publishing many articles over the past two years has opened my eyes to how important the arts are in conjunction with a well-rounded education. Children whose early education includes the arts experience greater development in their brains, are better at creative problem solving and any kind of collaborative effort, are more likely to attend classes regularly, get better grades, are more likely to complete higher education, are more likely to be hired when they enter the workforce and are more creative, innovative and proficient in whichever field they choose to pursue. Despite budgetary constraints, I firmly believe that stripping arts education from the curriculum in public schools is a huge step backward for our children and the future of our country. I hope you’ll join us! Cause: Keep the Arts in Public Schools
