Here at Funny Fruit Farm, we believe that creativity is a powerful pathway to learning and is something we want to help make available to kids of all backgrounds. With each purchase you make at Funny Fruit Farm, we will donate art supplies of equal value to local arts education organizations.
Your purchase will help bring the power of self-expression through art into the hands of the children who need it most. Many of the children who benefit from these programs are at a social and economic disadvantage. Arts programming and creative expression allow these children an outlet, as well as the opportunity to foster a deeper connection with the people and world around them.
We have partnered with the following organizations that we think are doing awesome work for disadvantaged children in our community:
FREE ARTS inspires hope in the lives of children who have experienced abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness through innovative creative arts programs and positive interactions with caring adult volunteers.
P.S. ARTS is dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing high-quality arts education to California’s underserved public schools & communities
We look forward to, with your help, expanding our reach and furthering our mission of inspiring kids to explore, create, and play.
