We have raised dozens of foster children and recently one of our adult foster daughters required an emergency re-location. She had no household goods, kitchen wares or bed and bath supplies. Within 24 hours, The Living Arts Corporation put an entire two bedroom apartment together for her, complete with rugs, silverware, towels, bedding and curtains. It was amazing and we were blown away. I was told that this non-profit started for the arts and when the recession hit they jumped in and began to help everyone in their community. Best yet, they never let their clients feel uncomfortable or marginalized. They do their work quietly and with dignity for all.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Performing Arts
Mission: In everything we do, we try to connect. The arts help shape personal and global culture. They provide clues to tackle challenges and engage in improving the state of the world, whether in a small neighborhood or on a grand scale. We trust in the potential of experience to illicit more empathy, birth new ideas, shift our perceptions and lead to action. We understand that the role of art is to make discomfort more comfortable. We create art and performance and use it to assist others, whether they be homeless veterans, marginalized families or other artists struggling to do their work.
