COFFI Spreads Joy at Carver Community Center with 'Suncatcher' Craft Boxes and MLK Celebration Coloring Books

In a heartwarming gesture of generosity, the Coalition of Families for Inclusion (COFFI) recently extended a ray of sunshine to the elementary-aged students at the Carver Community Center. The donation, consisting of enchanting "Suncatcher" craft boxes, coloring books, and crayons, has brought abundant joy and creativity to the young minds at the center.

The MLK Celebration coloring book is at the heart of this thoughtful donation, a tribute to the remarkable Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The coloring book not only showcases the artistic talents of the students but also serves as a medium to celebrate the inspiring words and enduring legacy of Dr. King's nonviolent resistance.

Their whimsical design, inclusive scenes, and pages catering to various skill levels set these coloring books apart. Each page is adorned with positive messaging, featuring educational and inspiring quotes by Dr. King. It's not just about coloring; it's about instilling values of kindness, inclusivity, and the power of peaceful activism.

COFFI co-founders Armel Jacobs and Diane Urban, the dynamic duo behind local inclusion programming projects, visited the Carver Community Center to deliver these in-kind gifts. Their appreciation for the facility was evident as they remarked, "The facility is so awesome - we love all the murals! Also, we couldn't help but notice as soon as we walked into the conference room that Dr. King's portrait was hanging right in front of us! It is so wonderful getting those little winks and nods from the universe. Thanks for all you do for the kids."

COFFI's commitment to making kindness more visible in our world is exemplified through gestures like these. The 'Suncatcher' craft boxes brighten the center and illuminate the hearts and minds of the children who receive them. The impact of such thoughtful acts resonates beyond the colorful pages of the MLK Celebration coloring book, fostering a sense of community, unity, and appreciation for diversity.

As we applaud COFFI for its dedication to spreading joy and inclusion, let us also take a moment to reflect on the profound impact that simple acts of kindness can have in creating a brighter, more harmonious world for our future generations.
