Children are naturally creative. This girl and boy are no exception.
Just as naturally, they take great delight in their work — be it expressed through art and crafts, through music, through performance, through creative writing, through scientific experimentation.
And when moms and children work together to create, something truly special happens between them.
As one housing staff member expressed it:
"I was able to create photo albums for the three families that are in our homeless program right now. All three families said that they had no pictures of their children or had a few pictures and nowhere to put them. With the equipment and supplies that I received from HCEF I am able to help parents create wonderful photo albums and scrapbooks that they can continue to build on even after they leave our shelter. It really helps them to cope with the serious issues that they are dealing with and it gives the parents and the children a positive aspect of their present situation."

HCEF is committed to nurturing the creative expression of "our" children.
We celebrate them. And we celebrate their work here on . . .
. . . through our new writer's workshop
. . . and through special exhibits
