Help Us “Make” a Difference.
When you participate in a summer camp, workshop, or host an event, you are supporting MAKE in bringing Art and Community to others. Make reaches people in all circumstances, including homelessness, addiction, poverty and foster care. Consider signing up to share in the cause and love on others through a monetary donation to support the studio's community partners.
Want to do more? Make relies on donors like you to help with the costs of running a studio. Your donations enable us to continue bringing Art and Community to those in need, support employees and purchase supplies.

Donate Gently Used Items
Your trash is our treasure! MAKE relies on donations of gently used items to help supply our projects and activities. We take donations of everything from recycled containers to new bottles of paint. Check out the list below for idea on what you can give to the studio - time to clean out those craft closets! Items can be dropped in the box by the church office during regular business hours or by appointment. All donations of goods can be dropped in the bin by the St. Giles front office marked “Make Studio.” Email Angie Cooke for more information at angie@makestudiorva.com.
