Alliance For Kids, Inc is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization whose direct purpose is to support Child Life services for hospitalized children and their families. We are collecting art supplies for Alliance For Kids for children hospitalized at Palm Beach Children's Hospital at St. Mary's Medical Center. Allowing kids to express themselves through art helps them relax and face the fear of unknown.
