Greenville Federal Credit Union will host an arts and crafts supply drive the week of March 14 - 18.  All items collected will be donated to A Child’s Haven, a local non-profit organization that treats children with developmental delays as a result of limited resources, abuse, or neglect. 

The public is invited to drop off arts and crafts supplies at any of the credit union’s four branches during regular business hours during the week.  Collection bins will be located inside the lobby of each branch.

Greenville Federal Credit Union has always placed a strong emphasis on supporting local children and educators through community engagement and outreach initiatives. This supply drive will replenish much-needed supplies for A Child’s Haven whose work helps struggling preschool children acquire skills necessary to be successful in school and beyond. Most children and families benefiting from their services have been expelled from mainstream childcare settings, have limited resources, and demonstrate clinical need for behavioral health treatment services.

Currently, the most needed items are:

  • Craft sticks
  • Washable kids paint
  • Finger Paints
  • Tempera paint – multi colors
  • Construction paper
  • Colored Masking Tape
  • Colored Duct Tape
  • Pom-Poms (multi size and color)
  • Yarn
  • Ribbon/Raffia
  • Foam or puffy stickers
  • Crayola Products
  • Stickers (all designs)
  • Foam brushes
  • Glue Sticks
  • Liquid White Glue
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Smocks
  • Tissue Paper
  • Crayola Markers (yes, the brand is important!)
  • Dry erase boards and markers
  • Chalk/Erasers and mini chalk boards (white and colorful chalk)
  • Stamp pads
  • Glitter
  • Feathers
  • Felt Sheet (all colors)
  • Fabric (quilting pieces, etc.)
