Who Are We?
Drawn To Help is an organization that takes professional cartoonists, comic book artists and children’s book illustrators to visit children in hospitals.
While continuing to serve children in hospitals, Drawn To Help has expanded our outreach and shifted our focus slightly to include people whose lives were turned upside down by Hurricane Helene. We’re taking art supplies and drawing lessons to children whose families have lost everything during the storm.
We’re also providing food, blankets, warm clothing and other much-needed supplies to people in the hardest hit areas of this devastating event. Your gifts will help us continue to do this during what is sure to be a long road to recovery.
Thank you for helping us help victims of the hurricane in deep and meaningful ways. We couldn’t do this without you!
Drawn To Help gives young patients free drawing lessons, fun autographed books and a cool pack of art supplies so they can continue experiencing the healing power of art long after our volunteers have gone home. And we are now providing the same service to children whose lives were turned upside down by the devastation from Hurricane Helene. We’re also rendering aid in the areas hit hardest by Helene by providing basic necessities and comfort to people who are struggling to recover.
Art heals!
Studies have shown that creating art reduces pain and anxiety. And that’s what Drawn To Help is all about. Helping one child at a time when they’re going through life challenges that most of us can only begin to imagine.
Drawn To Help is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in Columbus, North Carolina. Our volunteers give children in hospitals free drawing lessons, art supplies, and fun books to help provide pleasant distraction and promote healing in patients and their families.
