National Preparedness Month
September is National Preparedness Month, an annual observance designed to encourage individuals, families, and communities to prepare for emergencies and disasters.
Dear Friends and Supporters,
In the aftermath of disasters, countless individuals and families face profound challenges. Homes are destroyed, essential services are disrupted, and lives are uprooted. Among those severely affected are our vibrant arts and cultural communities, which encounter unique obstacles as their livelihoods often depend on patrons, as well as venues, studios, and galleries that may have also been damaged or destroyed. Without these spaces, artists and creators struggle to continue their work, impacting the cultural fabric that binds us all. Additionally, many find themselves falling through the cracks, navigating the complexities of being entrepreneurs without sufficient support.
The need for immediate and long-term assistance is critical, and together, we can make a significant difference. Your donation will help cover disaster relief and recovery expenses, including, but not limited to:
Emergency and Temporary Shelter: Safe, secure, and comfortable accommodations for displaced families.
Food and Water: Access to food and clean drinking water for those in urgent need.
Minor Home Rebuilding Efforts: Long-term support to help recover and rebuild stronger than before.
Support for the Arts: Navigation and program assistance, economic and workforce development, and replacement of lost supplies, equipment, and furniture, along with debris removal.
Every contribution matters. Your generosity can transform despair into hope, helping families and communities regain stability and start anew. Please join us in this important mission. Together, we can restore hope, rebuild lives, and revitalize our creative communities.
