In 2020, we started a new tradition here at ZieBee Media: Every season, as we update our inventory and go through our products, we put together an art donation box.
I wanted to find a way to give back to our local community, to find more ways to get our coloring into people’s hands to help alleviate the stress and tension that current events were causing.
Our first donation was to a local classroom, which we got connected to through our neighbor who is a second grade teacher.
Our next donation was to a local assisted living facility, which we got connected to through another neighbor who was working with locals to create gift bags for those in need of some emotional support during the lockdowns.
This quarter, we’ve just secured our next donation, which will be 30 of our Coloring Posters for a local classroom at Portland Village School, setup for us through a friend who’s son attends the school.
Would you like to share coloring with your community?
Giving back is something we can all do. It can be as big or small as each person is capable of, and every form provides value – both to the giver and the receiver.
We’re now offering wholesale pricing to people interested in donating a box to a group, classroom, or organization in their own community. We handle all delivery, you simply purchase the box and supply the address and contact information for the donation.
We supply a proof of donation receipt for you as well, with the retail value of the products listed, so that you can use it for tax purposes.
If you’re interested in donating an art box, please get in touch and we’ll send you all the appropriate information. We offer tiered box options, so that you can find the right option for you and your situation.
Thank you to those who’ve helped us donate coloring into our community, we’re so incredibly grateful for the help in spreading the joy of art making.
Sending good vibes your way,
~Mackenzie
