Art Feeds

Art Feeds Joplin is a wonderful not for profit in the Joplin area! They have made such a difference in the Joplin community. My first semester as an Art Feeds volunteer, I witnessed drastic transformation in the lives of many students. I watched children gain confidence in themselves and the ideas they produced. Can't imagine Joplin without Art Feeds and the work they have done.

I can't say enough great things about Art Feeds! The staff and volunteers have the biggest hearts I've ever encountered. I've witnessed this organization make huge breakthroughs in the classroom boosting kids' confidence and allowing them to expand their creativity. Regarding finances, they follow a model I've never seen before in a charity: 100% of given money goes directly into their programs. They have an entire separate fund for their pay which comes from donations specifically intended for their salaries. ALL of that is available online as well. Talk to any kid who has Art Feeds class and they have nothing but smiles and positive words. I LOVE ART FEEDS!

A friend and I had volunteered with them about a year ago to help them get school supplies ready for school. She has an Art Feeds hoodie and says that they're really comfy so I decide to get one too. We're both Mediums. I order mine and it comes, and it fits kind of small. Then I see that the tag has been ripped off and I realize that they sent me a small and just ripped it off so I wouldn't know. And they don't give refunds.



And this is a nonprofit too why are they selling merchandise in the first place isn't that illegal? I am quite upset that they would do this, especially since I had once volunteered for them too.
