On August 2, 2014, members of the Charles County Arts Alliance Board of Directors and Staff happily stuffed 300 art boxes for local elementary school children.ย  The art boxes contained glue, glue sticks, #2 pencils, safety scissors, erasers, colored pencils and crayons.ย  A special thanks goes to the employees of Walmart in California, Maryland, for their assistance in procuring the supplies.
