AHC has partnered with FLAX Art & Design to supply children, youth and families with premium art supplies through the Art YOU Ready? campaign. FLAX is a family owned business and has been at the center of the Bay Area arts community since 1938.
AHC is preparing to distribute 3,000 Art Kits to Alameda County children and families. Our focus is on empowering the communities most in need, in our immediate area; strengthening and inspiring our neighborhoods to be prepared and creative.
