Help the children of Penfield Children's Center create masterpieces this school year! We are a non-profit serving young (infant-6 yrs) children, 94% of whom come from homes below US poverty level, with over half in extreme poverty. Our creative classrooms and therapy services give kids the best start possible. 80% of the children served by Penfield are diagnosed with a special need. We work with over 1800 children annually.
- They would love any supplies for art projects, organized at your business, church, club or group. We would be glad to give all a tour to show you the great work being done at Penfield.
- The children are very young, ages 2 to 5 so keep in mind large sizes for crayons and hand held items. Please no religious or weapon images/items or glass items. We have about 10 rooms to supply so multiples are great! We go through supplies quickly.
